    - Overuse of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints due to training
    - Wear and tear
  2. Joint integrity
    a. Weight bearing - lose weight - feel
    better
    i. overweight
    b. Strength training
    c. General arthritis
  3. Trauma or injury - acutely dangerous
    a. Interferences (limb to limb contact)
    i. brushing
    ii. scalping
    iii. over-reaching or grabbing
    iv. Diagonal

Q

causes of osteoarthritis or djd

A

Traumatic arthritis
○ Came from septic arthritis

● Poor nutrition
○ Deficiency in Ca, Vit D, Vit E, Se

● Osteochondritis dissecans
- starts thickening
as a form of healing response but cartilage
breaks off from the joint

● Septic arthritis
○ Starts at infection
○ E.g. puncture to joint by nail that is
untreated

PT
arthroscopic sx
glucosamiine + chondroitin

32
Q

Aid the body and the joints to heal itself

A

glucosamiine + chondroitin

33
Q

what gauge needles when injecting equine joints

A

G21 or G22

34
Q

what are the sesamoid bones of horses
how many

A

3 sesamoid bones – two proximal and one distal as the navicular bone – in each foot

35
Q

sesamoid bone that is commonly fractured:

A

Distal sesaomoid bones = navicular bone

36
Q

whart are the fracture types in sesamoid bones

A

Apex - Apical
Midbody - down the middle area laterally on the sesamoid bone
Base - Basal
Abaxial
not as clear cut
more lateral because following along an axis of the sesamoid; not so dorsally
Axial
Comminuted
Broken into fragments
Vascular supply compromised
Condylar fracture sometimes accompanying this; found in cannon bone

37
Q

which breed common sesamoid bone fractures

A

race horses

38
Q

which limb common sesamoid fractures

A

Most often sa forelimbs;
Forelimbs carry more weight

39
Q

how to repair midbody fracture sesamoid

A

lag screw

40
Q

what kind of fracture in 2nd or 3rd carpal bone

A

slab fracture; screw back

41
Q

how to repair Lateral condylar fracture of the cannon bone

A

lag screw

42
Q

“Bowed tendon” - more commonly called this on horses

A

TENDONITIS

43
Q

SDFT/DDFT - going out
which is mostly affected

A

SDF

44
Q

Inflammation of the tendon or musculotendinous junction

A

tendonitis

45
Q

how many % normal elongatiion of SDFT

A

16%
if >20%, severe na

46
Q

causes of tendonitis

A

Excessive load
Blunt or penetrating trauma
Sepsis
Sometimes Due to poor bandaging → hindi nagsi-circulate properly → infxn → sepsis
Encircling bandages
Poor bandaging predisposes horses to tendonitis

47
Q

study levels of tendons ultrasound

A

SDF
DDF
Check ligament
Suspensory ligament

Suspensory ligament - deepest on the limb

48
Q

Hindi homogenous yung appearance ; diff echogenecity

A

tendonitis; darker areas = damage; microbleeding

49
Q

Q

Gold standard for checking upper respiratory issues

A

endoscopy

54
Q

gold standard for EE, LLH, DDSP

A

endoscopy

55
Q

tx for tendonitis (best treated early acute stage)

A

Stall-rest; cold packs & systemic anti-inflammatory agents;
Support or immobilization

56
Q

tx for chronic tendonitis

A

Superficial point firing*
Not recommended nowadays since inhumane
Or pin firing

Tendon splitting
Carbon fiber implantation

57
Q

what happens if tendonitis is not treated

Affected all ages/both sexes
Fillies at increased risk (young f)
Thoroughbred: 2-3 year old female (moost freq affected)

5% of racehorses affected

62
Q

Predisposing causes EXERTIONAL RHABDOMYOLYSIS

A

Horses with good BCS but irregular exercise patterns
Faulty substrate metabolism
Vitamin and mineral def
Endocrine abnormalities
Electrolyte imbalances

sometimes influenza

63
Q

CS for EXERTIONAL RHABDOMYOLYSIS

A

severe form of muscle cramps
Shiver on neck part
Sweat profusely if severe

64
Q

black urine due to

A

rhabdo myoglobinuria

65
Q

clinical severity grade of EXERTIONAL RHABDOMYOLYSIS

A

grade 3 starts unable to move/ firm swollen muscles

66
Q

differentials of eXERTIONAL RHABDOMYOLYSIS

A

Toxicity - more common abroad
Locally: tetanus

Horses are very prone to tetanus
Prophylaxis: tetanus antitoxin

67
Q

labb aids to diagnosing eXERTIONAL RHABDOMYOLYSIS

A

increased CK and AST = Tie up

68
Q

enzyme test

A

Decreasing tissue damage = recovery
Perform if repeated tying up

ast: 0-230
ck: 0-50

69
Q

2 types of chronic tie up

A

RER: recurrent eXERTIONAL RHABDOMYOLYSIS
abnormal use of calcium
Stress
Spike of CK and AST
thoroughbreds > standard and arab

PSSM (polysaccharide storage myopathy)
Glycigen synthase 1 gene
A little more specialized
Due to a Mutation in GYS1 gene
Dominantly inherited ang gene na ito
This gene is responsible sa polysaccharide metabolism/use
Some horses walang ganitong gene

QH affected mostly

70
Q

Trigger of pssm

A

Sudden changes in exercise routines

71
Q

tx for eXERTIONAL RHABDOMYOLYSIS

A

Limit further muscle damage by cutting the cycle (rest and TLC)
Muscle relaxants to prevent anxiety and panic
Fluids to maintain kidney function (normosol or lact ringers sol)
Prevent build up of myoglobinuria
