- Abstract
A 12-year-old hunter gelding became severely lame as a result of a laceration to the sheath of the digital flexor tendons of its left hindlimb, but there was no apparent damage to the tendons. The injury became chronically infected with Pseudomonas and Streptococcus species and Escherichia coil which did not respond to antibiotic treatment and the horse remained lame. A postmortem examination revealed that the tendons had ruptured.
