What do you do with a horse with a bog spaven put it down?
Bog Spavin is a swelling of the Tibiotarsal joint of the hock. The swelling normally does not cause lameness, but it can indicate other pathological problems with the joint. Causes of Bog Spavin (which is what the swelling is called.) can be caused by Synovitis, Degenerative Joint Disease, or excessive strain/overloading of the joint. If you see a Bog Spavin type swelling have a equine veterinarian come out to investigate why. Unlike Bone Spavin, Bog spavin will not change the bones. A equine vet will usually preform radiograph's on the joint to look for the cause and determine what if any treatment is advisable. Treatments may include corticosteroids or Hyaluronan acid injected into the joint, while some may require arthroscopic surgery. You most likely would not have to put the horse down, but you may have to find lighter work for it.
