When necrotic tissue forms, the healing process of wounds can not fully complete. Infection can set in and proud flesh can also form. If your horse has in injury with necrotic tissue, there are a few steps you can take to ensure proper healing.
If the wound is infected, first make sure the entire wound is cleaned. Next, check for any foreign objects that might be in the wound. Dirt, bacteria and fragments can all impede the healing process.
