bitum and lucerne or between treatments. grassy hay was provided twice daily throughout the study. After day 7, horses also had access to grass. Daily examinations recorded the demeanour, eating, drinking, urinating, defecation and general behaviour Wound assessment of all animals from day −1 to day 25. On days 0‒3, all horses underwent a physical examination and were Wounds were photographed on days 0, 4, 11, 18 and pain scored by a veterinarian blinded to treatment 25. The wound area was measured using image analy- application using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The sis software (ImageJ, US National Institutes of Health) VAS was a 100 mm line with 0 representing no pain and with a 60 × 60 mm ruler held adjacent for standard ref- 100 representing immense pain. If any horse scored a erence (Figure 4). The area of each wound in mm2 was VAS of 40 mm or more, rescue analgesia (methadone measured three times and the average was calculated 0.1 mg/kg) and sedation (acepromazine 0.01 mg/kg) to make a single measurement for each day. This was were administered IV. Horses were reassessed after used to calculate the wound area (mm2 ) and the rate 30 minutes and administered flunixin meglumine of healing dependent on the elapsed day. 1.1 mg/kg IV if the VAS score remained 40 mm or Rate of healing dependant on elapsed day greater.
