thrush!<\/strong><br \/>Equine canker is a growth process, thrush is a decay process!<\/p><p><strong>Equine canker has nothing to do with classical cancer.<br \/><\/strong>There are neither metastases nor melanomas or anything else.<br \/>Therefore, the term &#8220;hoof cancer&#8221; is actually wrong or misleading. But the good news is: if the disease is treated professionally, the chances of recovery are very good.<br \/>However, it is important to note that successful equine canker treatment is teamwork &#8211; between the veterinarian, farrier and horse owner.<\/p><p>Equine canker is often only detected after it has clearly spread. Therefore, only radical surgery can be considered. The affected areas on and under the hoof must be radically surgically removed. Sometimes, unfortunately, the hoof pads and corner strut walls have to be removed as well. Merbromin and Lotagen solution has proven to be a good wound care and also later to accelerate healing. The classic horse shoe as well as plaster bandages are well suited after surgery to ensure a strong pressure bandage. The pressure bandage is extremely important for healing, because only under pressure can a targeted keratinisation be attempted. Often the horses are free of pain and lameness only a few days after the operation. <br \/>Depending on the severity of the disease, patients need 8 \u201316 weeks to recover. If the equine canker is detected early, a mixture of sclerosing agents has proven to be effective. Applied daily, an operation has sometimes become superfluous.<br \/>In principle, we try to work as minimally invasive as possible.<\/p><p>Markus Raabe has treated more than 700 equine canker patients so far. The customers come to us from all continents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a424ff5 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget

the hoof wall area. It probably develops as a result of an injury or inflammation in the area of the coronet. This causes a &#8220;scar&#8221; in the area of the horn-producing cells, which then produces the keratoma. In some cases, keratoma can also occur following a hoof abscess.<\/p>\n<p>Keratoma can usually be recognised at the wall edge. On the one hand, the keratoma can press on the corium and on the coffin bone and thus cause inflammation of the corium and\/or coffin bone; on the other hand, the keratoma consists of inferior and poorly structured horn, which decays prematurely and thus does not provide effective protection against fungi and bacteria. This results in more frequent infections such as hoof abscesses.<\/p>\n<p>Radiographically, one typically sees a well-demarcated bone dissolution in the coffin bone in the area of the keratoma.&nbsp;Diagnostic anaesthesia of the nerves can be used to localise the lameness reliably to the hoof and subsequent treatment can be carried out painlessly.<\/p>\n<p>The veterinarian performs diagnostic anaesthesia to desensitise the hoof.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-secondary ); font-size: 1rem;\">The entire keratoma

abscess is a collection of pus in the corium. It usually develops from small infectious inflammations of the corium. Bacteria must therefore be involved. If only superficial parts of the corium are affected, the pus is usually thin and possibly black due to the melting of pigmented cells. If deeper layers are involved, the secretion is usually thicker and more yellow. The older the abscess, the more brownish the colour of the pus.<\/p>\n<p>A hoof ulcer is usually not difficult to recognise. The inflammation causes pain to the horse as soon as the pus starts to press on the neighbouring sclera sections. Then the typical severe, often sudden lameness can be observed. Affected animals often try to relieve the leg. Due to the inflammation of the hoof corium, the hoof usually feels warm. A throbbing may be felt at the back of the fetlock head, the pulsation of the toe artery. If the inflammation is very severe and painful, the horse may even develop a fever or refuse to eat.<\/p>\n<p>If a hoof abscess is suspected, the shoe must be removed and the abscess searched for with hoof forceps. The abscess is cut open, but the hole must not be too large on the inside so that the corium does not protrude. The hole must be widened to a funnel shape on the outside so that the canal does not close again.<\/p>\n<p>Then an dressing with Rivanol or similar is applied for two days.

Canicul\u0103 ecvin\u0103 nu are nimic de-a face cu cancerul clasic. nu exist\u0103 nici metastaze, nici melanoame sau orice altceva. prin urmare, termenul \"cancer de copit\u0103\" este de fapt gre\u0219it sau \u00een\u0219el\u0103tor. Dar vestea bun\u0103 este: dac\u0103 boala este tratat\u0103 profesional, \u0219ansele de recuperare sunt foarte bune. cu toate acestea, este important s\u0103 re\u021bine\u021bi c\u0103 tratamentul cu succes al cankerului ecvin este munca \u00een echip\u0103 - \u00eentre medicul veterinar, fierar \u0219i proprietarul calului. Cankerul ecvin este adesea detectat doar dup\u0103 ce s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit \u00een mod clar. Prin urmare, poate fi luat\u0103 \u00een considerare doar interven\u021bia chirurgical\u0103 radical\u0103. Zonele afectate de pe \u0219i de sub copit\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 fie \u00eendep\u0103rtate radical chirurgical. Uneori, din p\u0103cate, trebuie \u00eendep\u0103rtate \u0219i pl\u0103cu\u021bele copitei \u0219i pere\u021bii col\u021burilor. Solu\u021bia de Merbromin \u0219i Lotagen s-a dovedit a fi o bun\u0103 \u00eengrijire a r\u0103nilor \u0219i, de asemenea, ulterior pentru a accelera vindecarea. \u00cenc\u0103l\u021b\u0103mintea clasic\u0103 de cal, precum \u0219i bandajele de ghips sunt bine adaptate dup\u0103 opera\u021bie pentru a asigura un bandaj de presiune puternic. Bandajul de presiune este extrem de important pentru vindecare, deoarece numai sub presiune se poate \u00eencerca o keratinizare \u021bintit\u0103. Adesea, caii nu mai au dureri \u0219i \u0219chiop\u0103teaz\u0103 la doar c\u00e2teva zile dup\u0103 opera\u021bie. \u00cen func\u021bie de gravitatea bolii, pacien\u021bii au nevoie de 8 -16 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni pentru a se recupera. \u00cen cazul \u00een care canicul\u0103 ecvin\u0103 este detectat\u0103 la timp, un amestec de agen\u021bi sclerozan\u021bi s-a dovedit a fi eficient. Aplicate zilnic, o opera\u021bie a devenit uneori superflu\u0103. \u00een principiu, \u00eencerc\u0103m s\u0103 lucr\u0103m c\u00e2t mai pu\u021bin invaziv posibil. Markus Raabe a tratat p\u00e2n\u0103 acum peste 700 de pacien\u021bi cu afte ecvine. Clien\u021bii vin la noi de pe toate continentele. Keratom Cel mai adesea, keratomul apare \u00een zona peretelui copitei. Acesta se dezvolt\u0103 probabil ca urmare a unei leziuni sau inflama\u021bii \u00een zona coroanei. Aceasta provoac\u0103 o \"cicatrice\" \u00een zona celulelor produc\u0103toare de corn, care produce apoi keratomul. \u00cen unele cazuri, keratomul poate ap\u0103rea \u0219i \u00een urma unui abces al copitei. Keratomul poate fi recunoscut de obicei la marginea peretelui. Pe de o parte, keratomul poate ap\u0103sa pe corion \u0219i pe osul de sicriu, provoc\u00e2nd astfel inflamarea corionului \u0219i\/sau a osului de sicriu; pe de alt\u0103 parte, keratomul este format din corn inferior \u0219i slab structurat, care se descompune prematur \u0219i nu ofer\u0103 astfel o protec\u021bie eficient\u0103 \u00eempotriva ciupercilor \u0219i bacteriilor. Aceasta duce la infec\u021bii mai frecvente, cum ar fi abcesele de copit\u0103. Radiografic, se observ\u0103 de obicei o disolu\u021bie osoas\u0103 bine delimitat\u0103 \u00een osul coffin \u00een zona keratomului. Anestezia de diagnosticare a nervilor poate fi utilizat\u0103 pentru localizarea fiabil\u0103 a \u0219chiop\u0103t\u0103rii la nivelul copitei, iar tratamentul ulterior poate fi efectuat f\u0103r\u0103 durere. Medicul veterinar efectueaz\u0103 o anestezie diagnostic\u0103 pentru a desensibiliza copita. \u00centregul keratom trebuie \u00eendep\u0103rtat chirurgical de c\u0103tre fierar, astfel \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 se poat\u0103 produce din nou un corn normal. Dup\u0103 \u00eendep\u0103rtarea keratomului, copita este stabilizat\u0103 cu un pantof special. abces de copit\u0103 Un abces de copit\u0103 este o acumulare de puroi \u00een corion. Acesta se dezvolt\u0103 de obicei \u00een urma unor mici inflama\u021bii infec\u021bioase ale corionului. Prin urmare, bacteriile trebuie s\u0103 fie implicate. \u00cen cazul \u00een care sunt afectate doar p\u0103r\u021bile superficiale ale corionului, puroiul este de obicei sub\u021bire \u0219i, eventual, negru din cauza topirii celulelor pigmentate. Dac\u0103 sunt implicate straturi mai profunde, secre\u021bia este de obicei mai groas\u0103 \u0219i mai galben\u0103. Cu c\u00e2t abcesul este mai vechi, cu at\u00e2t culoarea puroiului este mai maronie. Un ulcer al copitei nu este de obicei dificil de recunoscut. Inflama\u021bia provoac\u0103 durere calului de \u00eendat\u0103 ce puroiul \u00eencepe s\u0103 apese pe sec\u021biunile de scler\u0103 \u00eenvecinate. Apoi poate fi observat\u0103 \u0219chiop\u0103tarea tipic\u0103 sever\u0103, adesea brusc\u0103. Animalele afectate \u00eencearc\u0103 adesea s\u0103 u\u0219ureze piciorul. Din cauza inflama\u021biei coriumului copitei, copita se simte de obicei cald\u0103. O pulsa\u021bie poate fi sim\u021bit\u0103 la partea din spate a capului gleznei, pulsa\u021bia arterei degetului. Dac\u0103 inflama\u021bia este foarte sever\u0103 \u0219i dureroas\u0103, calul poate chiar s\u0103 fac\u0103 febr\u0103 sau s\u0103 refuze s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce. Dac\u0103 se suspecteaz\u0103 un abces al copitei, potcoava trebuie \u00eendep\u0103rtat\u0103, iar abcesul trebuie c\u0103utat cu forcepsul copitei. Abcesul se deschide, dar gaura nu trebuie s\u0103 fie prea mare \u00een interior, astfel \u00eenc\u00e2t corionul s\u0103 nu ias\u0103 \u00een afar\u0103. La exterior, gaura trebuie l\u0103rgit\u0103 \u00een form\u0103 de p\u00e2lnie pentru ca canalul s\u0103 nu se \u00eenchid\u0103 din nou. Apoi se aplic\u0103 un pansament cu Rivanol sau similar timp de dou\u0103 zile. Dac\u0103 rana nu trebuie t\u0103iat\u0103 din nou, se aplic\u0103 pansamente uscate p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd iritarea corionului a disp\u0103rut, adic\u0103 rana este uscat\u0103 \u0219i calul nu mai \u0219chiop\u0103teaz\u0103. Dup\u0103 vindecarea abcesului, trebuie s\u0103 se realizeze o leg\u0103tur\u0103 neted\u0103 \u00eentre corionul copitei \u0219i marginea cornului din gaur\u0103, altfel se poate forma cu u\u0219urin\u021b\u0103 o talp\u0103 dubl\u0103. Unii cai nu merg din nou complet drept p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd nu au fost potcovi\u021bi. De asemenea, este posibil ca coriumul s\u0103 continue s\u0103 secrete umezeal\u0103 pentru o anumit\u0103 perioad\u0103 de timp. Prin urmare, gaura nu trebuie niciodat\u0103 astupat\u0103, nici m\u0103car dup\u0103 vindecare! Deoarece noul corn este foarte sensibil la \u00eenceput, calul trebuie s\u0103 primeasc\u0103 o inser\u021bie care s\u0103 absoarb\u0103 \u0219ocurile pentru o perioad\u0103 de potcovit.  La fiecare abces de copit\u0103, problema protec\u021biei \u00eempotriva tetanosului este important\u0103! Fisurile peretelui copitei Fisurile peretelui copitei sunt separ\u0103ri verticale \u00een zona peretelui copitei \u00een sens longitudinal. Se face o distinc\u021bie \u00een func\u021bie de localizare \u0219i ad\u00e2ncime. O cr\u0103p\u0103tur\u0103 ad\u00e2nc\u0103 de la banda coronar\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la marginea de sprijin este cr\u0103p\u0103tura de perete de trecere. Adesea, fisurile se extind p\u00e2n\u0103 la banda de tiv a zonei de cre\u0219tere a peretelui. Dac\u0103 aceasta este lezat\u0103, aceste fisuri pot s\u00e2ngera constant. Dar nu intra\u021bi \u00een panic\u0103, chiar \u0219i aceste fisuri sunt tratabile \u00een majoritatea cazurilor. Fisurile profunde ale peretelui necesit\u0103 \u00eentotdeauna tratament, deoarece acestea provoac\u0103 instabilitatea capsulei cornului \u0219i duc la modific\u0103ri ale formei copitei. Caii cu fisuri ale peretelui au adesea dureri din cauza v\u00e2n\u0103t\u0103ilor \u0219i a suprasolicit\u0103rii dermului sensibil \u0219i foarte inervat al peretelui, care sunt adesea \u00eenso\u021bite de \u0219chiop\u0103tat.

Equine canker has nothing to do with classical cancer.There are neither metastases nor melanomas or anything else.Therefore, the term &#8220;hoof cancer&#8221; is actually wrong or misleading. But the good news is: if the disease is treated professionally, the chances of recovery are very good.However, it is important to note that successful equine canker treatment is teamwork &#8211; between the veterinarian, farrier and horse owner. Equine canker is often only detected after it has clearly spread. Therefore, only radical surgery can be considered. The affected areas on and under the hoof must be radically surgically removed. Sometimes, unfortunately, the hoof pads and corner strut walls have to be removed as well. Merbromin and Lotagen solution has proven to be a good wound care and also later to accelerate healing. The classic horse shoe as well as plaster bandages are well suited after surgery to ensure a strong pressure bandage. The pressure bandage is extremely important for healing, because only under pressure can a targeted keratinisation be attempted. Often the horses are free of pain and lameness only a few days after the operation. Depending on the severity of the disease, patients need 8 \u201316 weeks to recover. If the equine canker is detected early, a mixture of sclerosing agents has proven to be effective. Applied daily, an operation has sometimes become superfluous.In principle, we try to work as minimally invasive as possible. Markus Raabe has treated more than 700 equine canker patients so far. The customers come to us from all continents. Keratoma Most often, keratoma occurs in the hoof wall area. It probably develops as a result of an injury or inflammation in the area of the coronet. This causes a &#8220;scar&#8221; in the area of the horn-producing cells, which then produces the keratoma. In some cases, keratoma can also occur following a hoof abscess. Keratoma can usually be recognised at the wall edge. On the one hand, the keratoma can press on the corium and on the coffin bone and thus cause inflammation of the corium and\/or coffin bone; on the other hand, the keratoma consists of inferior and poorly structured horn, which decays prematurely and thus does not provide effective protection against fungi and bacteria. This results in more frequent infections such as hoof abscesses. Radiographically, one typically sees a well-demarcated bone dissolution in the coffin bone in the area of the keratoma.&nbsp;Diagnostic anaesthesia of the nerves can be used to localise the lameness reliably to the hoof and subsequent treatment can be carried out painlessly. The veterinarian performs diagnostic anaesthesia to desensitise the hoof.&nbsp;The entire keratoma must be surgically removed by the farrier so that normal horn can be produced again. After the keratoma has been removed, the hoof is stabilised with a special shoe. hoof abscess A hoof abscess is a collection of pus in the corium. It usually develops from small infectious inflammations of the corium. Bacteria must therefore be involved. If only superficial parts of the corium are affected, the pus is usually thin and possibly black due to the melting of pigmented cells. If deeper layers are involved, the secretion is usually thicker and more yellow. The older the abscess, the more brownish the colour of the pus. A hoof ulcer is usually not difficult to recognise. The inflammation causes pain to the horse as soon as the pus starts to press on the neighbouring sclera sections. Then the typical severe, often sudden lameness can be observed. Affected animals often try to relieve the leg. Due to the inflammation of the hoof corium, the hoof usually feels warm. A throbbing may be felt at the back of the fetlock head, the pulsation of the toe artery. If the inflammation is very severe and painful, the horse may even develop a fever or refuse to eat. If a hoof abscess is suspected, the shoe must be removed and the abscess searched for with hoof forceps. The abscess is cut open, but the hole must not be too large on the inside so that the corium does not protrude. The hole must be widened to a funnel shape on the outside so that the canal does not close again. Then an dressing with Rivanol or similar is applied for two days. If the wound does not need to be re-cut, dry dressings are applied until the irritation of the corium has subsided, i.e. the wound is dry and the horse is no longer lame.&nbsp;After the abscess has healed, a smooth connection must be made between the hoof corium and the horn edge of the hole, otherwise a double sole can easily form. Some horses do not walk completely straight again until they have been shod. It is also possible that the corium will continue to secrete some moisture for some time. Therefore, the hole must never be plugged even after healing!&nbsp;As the new horn is very sensitive at first, the horse should be given a shock-absorbing insert for a shoeing period.&nbsp; With every hoof abscess, the question of tetanus protection is important! Hoof wall cracks Hoof wall cracks are vertical separations in the area of the hoof wall in longitudinal direction. A distinction is made according to location and depth. A deep crack from the coronet band to the bearing edge is the through-going wall crack. Often the cracks extend to the hem band of the growth zone of the wall. If this is injured, these cracks can bleed constantly. But don&#8217;t panic, even these cracks are treatable in most cases. Deep wall cracks always require treatment, as they cause instability of the horn capsule and lead to changes in hoof shape. Horses with wall cracks often have pain due to bruising and overloading of the sensitive, highly innervated wall dermis, which is often accompanied by lameness.

Equine canker has nothing to do with classical cancer.There are neither metastases nor melanomas or anything else.Therefore, the term &#8220;hoof cancer&#8221; is actually wrong or misleading. But the good news is: if the disease is treated professionally, the chances of recovery are very good.However, it is important to note that successful equine canker treatment is teamwork &#8211; between the veterinarian, farrier and horse owner. Equine canker is often only detected after it has clearly spread. Therefore, only radical surgery can be considered. The affected areas on and under the hoof must be radically surgically removed. Sometimes, unfortunately, the hoof pads and corner strut walls have to be removed as well. Merbromin and Lotagen solution has proven to be a good wound care and also later to accelerate healing. The classic horse shoe as well as plaster bandages are well suited after surgery to ensure a strong pressure bandage. The pressure bandage is extremely important for healing, because only under pressure can a targeted keratinisation be attempted. Often the horses are free of pain and lameness only a few days after the operation. Depending on the severity of the disease, patients need 8 \u201316 weeks to recover. If the equine canker is detected early, a mixture of sclerosing agents has proven to be effective. Applied daily, an operation has sometimes become superfluous.In principle, we try to work as minimally invasive as possible. Markus Raabe has treated more than 700 equine canker patients so far. The customers come to us from all continents. Keratoma Most often, keratoma occurs in the hoof wall area. It probably develops as a result of an injury or inflammation in the area of the coronet. This causes a &#8220;scar&#8221; in the area of the horn-producing cells, which then produces the keratoma. In some cases, keratoma can also occur following a hoof abscess. Keratoma can usually be recognised at the wall edge. On the one hand, the keratoma can press on the corium and on the coffin bone and thus cause inflammation of the corium and\/or coffin bone; on the other hand, the keratoma consists of inferior and poorly structured horn, which decays prematurely and thus does not provide effective protection against fungi and bacteria. This results in more frequent infections such as hoof abscesses. Radiographically, one typically sees a well-demarcated bone dissolution in the coffin bone in the area of the keratoma.&nbsp;Diagnostic anaesthesia of the nerves can be used to localise the lameness reliably to the hoof and subsequent treatment can be carried out painlessly. The veterinarian performs diagnostic anaesthesia to desensitise the hoof.&nbsp;The entire keratoma must be surgically removed by the farrier so that normal horn can be produced again. After the keratoma has been removed, the hoof is stabilised with a special shoe. hoof abscess A hoof abscess is a collection of pus in the corium. It usually develops from small infectious inflammations of the corium. Bacteria must therefore be involved. If only superficial parts of the corium are affected, the pus is usually thin and possibly black due to the melting of pigmented cells. If deeper layers are involved, the secretion is usually thicker and more yellow. The older the abscess, the more brownish the colour of the pus. A hoof ulcer is usually not difficult to recognise. The inflammation causes pain to the horse as soon as the pus starts to press on the neighbouring sclera sections. Then the typical severe, often sudden lameness can be observed. Affected animals often try to relieve the leg. Due to the inflammation of the hoof corium, the hoof usually feels warm. A throbbing may be felt at the back of the fetlock head, the pulsation of the toe artery. If the inflammation is very severe and painful, the horse may even develop a fever or refuse to eat. If a hoof abscess is suspected, the shoe must be removed and the abscess searched for with hoof forceps. The abscess is cut open, but the hole must not be too large on the inside so that the corium does not protrude. The hole must be widened to a funnel shape on the outside so that the canal does not close again. Then an dressing with Rivanol or similar is applied for two days. If the wound does not need to be re-cut, dry dressings are applied until the irritation of the corium has subsided, i.e. the wound is dry and the horse is no longer lame.&nbsp;After the abscess has healed, a smooth connection must be made between the hoof corium and the horn edge of the hole, otherwise a double sole can easily form. Some horses do not walk completely straight again until they have been shod. It is also possible that the corium will continue to secrete some moisture for some time. Therefore, the hole must never be plugged even after healing!&nbsp;As the new horn is very sensitive at first, the horse should be given a shock-absorbing insert for a shoeing period.&nbsp; With every hoof abscess, the question of tetanus protection is important! Hoof wall cracks Hoof wall cracks are vertical separations in the area of the hoof wall in longitudinal direction. A distinction is made according to location and depth. A deep crack from the coronet band to the bearing edge is the through-going wall crack. Often the cracks extend to the hem band of the growth zone of the wall. If this is injured, these cracks can bleed constantly. But don&#8217;t panic, even these cracks are treatable in most cases. Deep wall cracks always require treatment, as they cause instability of the horn capsule and lead to changes in hoof shape. Horses with wall cracks often have pain due to bruising and overloading of the sensitive, highly innervated wall dermis, which is often accompanied by lameness. Another problem is putrefaction processes in the crack, caused","og_url":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/hoof-surgery\/","og_site_name":"markusraabe.com","article_modified_time":"2026-02-18T09:19:53+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":675,"url":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/keratoma_hoof-disease_surgery.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Timp estimat pentru citire":"8 minute"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/hoof-surgery\/","url":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/hoof-surgery\/","name":"Chirurgia copitelor - markusraabe.com","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/hoof-surgery\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/hoof-surgery\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/keratoma_hoof-disease_surgery-1024x576.jpg","datePublished":"2023-04-27T10:57:12+00:00","dateModified":"2026-02-18T09:19:53+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/hoof-surgery\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"ro-RO","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/hoof-surgery\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"ro-RO","@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/hoof-surgery\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/keratoma_hoof-disease_surgery-1024x576.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/keratoma_hoof-disease_surgery-1024x576.jpg"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/hoof-surgery\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Startseite","item":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Hoof surgery"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/","name":"markusraabe.com","description":"Med EquiVet","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"ro-RO"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/#organization","name":"markusraabe.com","url":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"ro-RO","@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/logo-medequivet-v2.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/logo-medequivet-v2.png","width":1147,"height":912,"caption":"markusraabe.com"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1479"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1479\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4447,"href":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1479\/revisions\/4447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/markusraabe.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
