Rearing of horses has been a habit for decades. With these animals, one needs to take good care of them to maintain good health. Failure to do this, then they will get infections. A common infection here is the Navicular syndrome which the veterinaries still get confused about. When a Stallion is infected and diagnosis done, there is little hope. However, some common treatment done after diagnosis includes the use of natural herbs to heal.
The disease shows different symptoms. But the most common one is where the animal shows intermittent lameness. As it tries to walk, it feels pain and stumbles as it tries to get the steps. When the veterinary arrives to do the checking, they use x-rays to check the navicular bone. This is a small part in the hooves, and it remains part of the skeleton. Ligaments hold it.
Sometimes, owners will see their stallions sitting on the haunches. Here, they look or appear in pain. In some cases, it might be seen that whenever they are in training, they tend to go slow during the workouts. In many cases, these animals refuse to move when the pain becomes unbearable. It finally stumbles and falls. During this time, there is a burning sensation as a result of increased blood flow in the hooves and the movement of coffin bone.
When the hooves take a long time before trimming, this becomes a reason for the navicular to occur. The main cause of this is the overgrowing of hooves. As it grows, it starts to wear according to the way the horses are kept. The inside bones become immobile leading to poor circulation of blood. In some cases, the bone starts to sink to the hoof floor, piecing the bottom leading to more pain.
One symptom of this disease is that it is prevalent on the front feet. Horses reared inside stalls have a high chance of attacks. The reason of getting this condition is that the Mare requires strong physical demand from being overweight. An animal that lack correct conformation has the highest chance of suffering from this disease. Those rearing animals have to ensure the better health of stallions as this reduces chances of infections.
It is widely known that some horses are more prone to the attacks. This includes the Quarter and Thoroughbred. These two have a small foot which is unproportionate to the body. The bad news also is that even those which are one year and bellow get these infections because the hoof is weak and still growing. This condition occurs slowly and this end up in progressive lameness.
Veterinary doctors find it hard to diagnose and detect this condition on time. It develops slowly and as a result, it will be known when the condition is worse. Owners wake up one day only to find the animals unable to stand and move, and showing signs of lameness.
After a diagnosis is made, the doctors record what they can see in their physical eyes. They can also use the x-rays machines which show the extent of the condition. When the diagnosis has been done, treatment is them offered. Some of the common solutions include shortening of the toe, trimming for correctional purposes and treating the pastern axis.
