A haematoma is an accumulation of blood that collects under the skin like a giant blood
blister. It can develop from:
VetBooks.ir • a kick
•
a blow, e.g. if a horse hits a jump (Figure 3.12)
• intramuscular injections given into the brisket (Figure 3.13)
• a surgical incision.
Figure 3.12 This haematoma formed after the horse hit its stifle on a cross-country fence
