For vertebral abscesses, the treatment consists of prolonged antimicrobial therapy, ideally based on results of culture and antibiogram of the pathogens involved. In humans, treatment of these infections consists of surgery (debridement and/or laminectomy) and antibiotic/antifungal treatment. Access to the infected area may be difficult in horses due to the large epaxial musculature. There is a case report of a successful dorsal laminectomy performed in a colt with an infection of the spinous process of the axis [89].
