It is a painful and debilitating disease, making it difficult for horses to move about.
Equine arthritis begins slowly and develops as the joint surface (cartilage) wears down.
Then, the resulting pain manifests as lameness.
Signs of horse arthritis are:
- Stiffness that dissipates as the horse warms up
- Swelling of the fetlocks, knees, and hocks
- Lameness
Fortunately, TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) offers an ancient Chinese herbal formula to ease equine arthritis.
