|Abstract| |Table of Contents| |More Information|

Abstract The possibilities and modalities of treating horses with manual lymphatic drainage are investigated. Object of this study are horses with chronic cellulitis of a leg. All horses had been resistant to prior therapies. All patients were treated with manual lymphatic drainage on a daily bases. Results were documented with photography and volume calculation of the affected legs. The condition in three horses was further characterized with the help of indirect lymphography. As a result all horses showed a marked improvement of the condition. Clinical and lymphographic findings suggest that the condition known as "chronic cellulitis" would better be described as chronic lymphedema.
