Answer 14

No….only in Dog

Question 15

EQUINE: How do you check bone spavin (osteoarthritis of the hock in horses, which may cause swelling and lameness)?

Treatment ?

Answer 15

Performing a flexion test of an affected limb often produces a temporary worsening of the lameness. Such a response to a flexion test would be supportive, but not diagnostic, of bone spavin. A flexion test involves holding the hock in forced flexion for 30-60 seconds before trotting the horse away immediately.

– Transect cunean tendon of cranial tibial m.
