Was initially lame but not in consult today. Knuckling area appears less prominent, almost like ligament damage?

Seen a couple of cases. They need looking at by an orthopod, surgery is possible but not for the squeamish as most likely an arthrodesis is called for, but it might be a simpler avulsion type problem</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/190954?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 06 Jan 2018 17:50:56 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:9b6a40ac-c0bd-4802-8526-d8be8d627054Niall Taylor<p>Could you be more specific? What do you mean by &#39;flat-foot&#39;? There are a number of conditions I can think of which might be described that way. To me the photo doesn&#39;t seem to show too much wrong with the foot.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Niall</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
