| Abstract | ||||
| Three different forms of arthritis of the tibiotarsal articulation were recorded. These affections were traumatic hydrathrosis in calves kept for beef production (9), Septic arthritis (2) and one case exhibited degenerative arthritis in a fresian dairy cow. All cases of traumatic hydrarthrosis gave good recovery following the application of one injection, while the septic arthritis resulted in severe local and systemic reactions with moderate improvement. Degenerative arthritis showed some radiological changes characterized by wide areas of degeneration beside, osteophytic reactions at the tibiotatrsal and proximal intertarsal joints as well as narrowing of the distal intertarsal joint. | ||||
