Proximal suspensory desmitis (PSD) results in sudden onset lameness, which can be remarkably transient, resolving within 24 hours unless the horse is worked hard. In horses with more chronic injury lameness may be persistent. PSD in forelimbs occurs in horses of all ages and from all disciplines. Extravagantly moving young dressage horses and older upper level competition horses are particularl...

BACKGROUND Data on the long-term outcome of B. burgdorferi infections in adult dogs are sparse. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether Bernese Mountain dogs with serological evidence of natural B. burgdorferi infection more often develop signs such as lameness, azotemia or proteinuria during a follow-up period of 2.5 to 3.0 years. Seropositive Bernese Mountain dogs were compare...

Multiple cartilaginous exostosis was diagnosed in a six-month-old Golden Retriever cross-bred male with a history of forelimb lameness and isolated, but very painful, acute episodes. Physical examination revealed a right forelimb lameness with a firm, painful palpable mass on the cranial aspect of the forearm. The radiological examination showed the presence of bony masses at the humerus and ra...

This paper reviews hypertrophic osteopathy and describes one case report. Hypertrophic osteopathy is a rare pathologic disease process and is observed secondary to a mass in the thorax. In response to the presence of a mass(es), nonoedematous soft tissue swellings and a diffuse periosteal new bone formation develop in all four limbs. The result is mild to severe lameness. A twelve-year-old sexu...

Problems associated with the proximal metacarpal region, such as an osseous injury associated with tearing of Sharpey's fibers or an avulsion fracture of the origin of the suspensory ligament (OISL), are important causes of lameness in racehorses. In the present study, four Thoroughbred racehorses (age range, 2-4 years) were diagnosed as having forelimb OISL and assessed over time by using stan...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to analyze data on physical activity and rumination time monitored via collars at the farm coupled with milk yield recorded by rotary milking system predict cows based several disorders using binary Logistic regression conducted R software. Data for metritis (n=60), mastitis (n=98), lameness (n=35), digestive (n=52) were collected from 1,618 healthy used...

Objective: To determine the impact of lameness on sow productivity and longevity evaluate effects housing management removal lame sows in herds using pen gestation. Materials methods: Retrospective production records information methods were collected from 23 farms gestation analyzed for 214,254 2014 through 2020. Statistical analyses performed to differences longevity, productivity, methods. R...
