Would love to hear from anyone who has had experience of Hock Bog spavin/OCD in their young horse. There seem to be lots of older threads from many years ago. My 2yr old Friesian saw the vet before Christmas and is now waiting for x-rays. The vet suspects OCD and that surgery will be needed. The hock at times is huge but this is not consistent. Sometimes the swelling reduces but doesn't disappear entirely. He shows no lameness or pain on examination. He has been very slow to mature but went through a sudden growth spurt 2 months so this may have triggered the problem. I'm keen to hear of people's experience with young horses in particular, the cost of their surgery if this was necessary and the outcome.
