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.


Is there a cure for bog spavin in horses?

Bog spavins alone won't make a horse unrideable, but sometimes they are symptoms of a problem deeper down in the hock. In this case, the horse would be unrideable- not because of the bog spavin, but because of the problem that caused it.

What is the difference between thoroughpin and bog spavin?

Thoroughpin and bog spavin look quite similar, because they are both a swelling in the hock area. The joint of the hock contains pockets of fluid (called synovial fluid) to help the bones move across one another. The pockets can become over-full with synovial fluid, and make the pockets poke out and make the hock look puffy. This is bog spavin, or serous tarsitis. Although bog spavin doesn't hurt the horse, it can make them more prone to arthritis later in life. A tendon runs down the back of a horse's leg called the deep digital flexor tendon. At the level of the hock, it's surrounded by a sheath (the tarsal sheath) that's also filled with synovial fluid, so the tendon can glide over the bones of the hock. If the area is damaged, the sheath can become inflamed and filled with extra synovial fluid. It looks like to puffy pockets on the inside and outside of the horse's leg, just above the hock. It's called thoroughpin, or tenosynovitis.
