Bitten by other hoof stock, sequela

This code indicates a past injury resulting from a bite by an animal belonging to the "other hoof stock" category, such as a zebra, wildebeest, or tapir. It signifies that the patient is experiencing a long-term effect or complication directly attributable to this previous bite.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, scar, infection, or other lasting health issue that is a direct consequence of being bitten by a non-cattle, non-horse, non-deer hoofed animal. This applies when the initial acute injury has resolved, but its sequelae persist.

• Always sequence this code after the code describing the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic infection).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the previous "other hoof stock" bite.
• Do not use for acute bite injuries; this is specifically for residual effects.
