Equine Arthritis
Equine arthritis is a common condition affecting horses, characterized by inflammation of the joints. This condition can result from wear and tear, injury, or underlying diseases. Symptoms often include lameness, stiffness, and swelling in the affected joints, which can impact a horse's mobility and performance.
Treatment for equine arthritis may involve rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and joint supplements. In some cases, veterinarians may recommend physical therapy or injections to help manage pain and improve joint function. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential for early detection and effective management of this condition to ensure the horse's well-being.
