Abstract

Two adult male horses 5 and 8 years old were admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of king Faisal University for evaluation of their incised wounds in the distal third of their tongues. Signs of gangrene were evident in one animal and the distal segment of the tongue of the second animal was deeply lacerated. The distal portions were excised in each animal and both horses resumed normal life. One animal was followed up for a period of 13 months.
