Re: [RC] Tarsal question for vets - Susan Garlinghouse, DVM



Could someone please explain to me what the following means:
There is a minor degree of subchondral sclerosis of the dorsoproximal
central
tarsal bone (left rear leg). There is no evidence of subchondral lucency
or
periarticular productive changes.

Degenerative joint disease = arthritis in his left hock

The horse has a noticeable gait difference when it walks. I drove 6 1/2
hrs
(one way) to buy this horse, advertised by "lawyers" as being sound.  I
was
very frustrated when I left, without a horse.

Better than driving, coming home with a lame horse and finding out after the
fact.  "Sound" is a relative term to a lot of people.

Susan G, DVM
