Summary:This is a case report that describes a severe condition of exungulation with distal phalanx avulsion in a mare, Quarter Horse of nine years old, attended at the Veterinary Hospital (HCV) from the Santa Catarina State University (CAV/UDESC), Lages, SC, Brazil. The animal showed exungulation of the right hindlimb due to transportation trauma and presented with severe lameness. All radiographs demonstrated osteoproliferative reaction in the proximal and middle phalanges and absence of the distal phalanx and the alar cartilage and severe peripheral soft tissue swelling. Due to the extensive injury with severe involvement of the distal phalanx and poor prognosis euthanasia was recommended and performed.
