Hello all,
Ive had my new Irish Draught for about 3 weeks now and I have noticed an alarming clicking noise coming from one of her hocks/stifle (hard to decipher which).
She is otherwise sound and moves freely across all gaits. The sound is like that of someone who is cracking their knuckle. It is not every time she steps but perhaps every 3/4 strides. I can only notice it in walk, although that may be because I can't hear when she is trotting / cantering.
Does anyone know what this could be? Im really worried but then she doesn't seem bothered by it in the slightest, it just sounds odd.
Im going to get the vet out to be sure but wonder if anyone else has had this before or knows what it could be??
