This article reports a case of a large laceration with great loss of skin at the dorsal medial portion of the right pelvic member, with partial exposure of the metatarsal and the long extensor tendon of the fingers in a 8-month-old Quare Horse mare. A treatment was prescribed based on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, with an intervention of the wound on alternate days after tranquilization with detomidine. The initial contamination, associated with the size and magnitude of the injury, contributed to a delay of 170 days for the wound to heal. Repeated and prolonged use of detomidine did not cause any cardiovascular changes.

Keywords : cutaneous scarring; detomidine; equine; lacerating wound..
