Koch, Christoph; Witte, Stefan (2013). Septic osteitis and osteomyelitis in foals - are antimicrobials alone enough? Equine veterinary education, 25(2), pp. 67-73. Wiley-Blackwell 10.1111/j.2042-3292.2012.00409.x
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)The case report by Lawrence and Fraser (2012) describes the successful management of 2 weanlings with septic osteitis of the proximal sesamoid bones, using prolonged (6 weeks) antimicrobial therapy alone. Doxycycline, an antimicrobial with excellent bone penetration properties, was deemed essential to treatment success. In contrast to the poor outcome in previously reported cases of septic sesamoid bone osteitis, the authors were able to show the value of a conservative approach over surgical debridement. The question is to what extent are we able to extrapolate this to the general treatment of septic osteitis and osteomyelitis in young horses?
