For those of you who are familiar with ……?
equine OCD (osteochondrosis) Have any of you been able to return a horse to the arena after to show to deal with it. How do you deal with, it was necessary surgery, bone chips are there in the TOC? I'm very curious to know how many horse track (EP and DT) and backyard horses have been effected by this disease. Great information, thank you very much ..: Riley
We would like to see many of they come to the clinic they were race horses and hunter jumpers. I would say that 80% of the time surgery was necessary, when first detected by loose bone chips. The other 20% usually had to go back after it got worse. In my experience with them, it does go back to what they were doing. No But not at the same level, and not to the same people usually. What you see is a horse come with excellent pedigree papers. We would like to do surgery on him, then therapy, then the original owner to get another horse, sell what one to pilot a lower level. Finally, the horse ends up as a "rescue" riding in someones backyard What I always found interesting was that some farms that have a higher level of cases of OCD, as well as some bloodlines. The starting time was because of them young, working too hard, or even bad food … certain operations seemed to have a reputation or more it is expected that if a horse became lame it was OCD.
