Osteoarthritis : manifestations and causes
Osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints affecting mostly older horses. The disease affects all the joints of the horse, but often it is those of the legs that are most affected: knees, hocks, etc. Cartilage in the joints degenerates, causing joint pain in horses. The animal will then have difficulty moving. If you notice that your horse is limping, or you hear a cracking joint while moving, your poor animal is certainly suffering from osteoarthritis. Joint swelling may also appear.
Regarding the causes of this disease, age and overweight are the most common factors. Defects or misalignment between the bones in the joints can also be the cause of osteoarthritis.
It is an irreversible disease, that is to say, without possibility of cure. However, with the right treatment, it is quite possible to stop the progression of the disease and relieve the pain.
