Hocks

["Julia Thom" <thomlabs@netbistro.com>]

I wrote a few weeks ago and I was sure that my
mare had a stifle injury, I had the vet out and he
feels it is her right hock.    I have never had a horse
with this type of injury.

My vet said the only way to know for sure is a x-ray
or nerve block.  The nerve block can only be done
if she is lame, which she is not.

Any comments on hock injuries would be appreciated.

Thanks
Julia
