Bone Spavin in Horses: Symptoms, Treatment & Management
Bone spavin, also known as Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) of the hock (tarsus), is an extremely common cause of equine lameness. It is caused by repeated concussion and rotational forces on the hock joint, as well as excessive forces on the adjoining ligaments. As a wear and tear condition, bone spavin is characterized by narrowed joint spaces and bone spurs. It is frequently bilateral and accompanied by lameness, with a decreased range of motion.
