Friesian's question about Luxation of the Coxofemoral Joint

Question

Good afternoon.
I would like to know what kins of exercises could my horse do to stabilize de coxofemoral joint. Thank you very much! They have done gammmagraphy and x.rays and you can see how the femur is displaced dorsally

Accepted Answer

If there is a dorsal displacement of the femoral head, I would recommend consulting with an Equine Chiropractor to see if some manipulation will help reduce the joint. Stall rest is usually best in these cases, once the joint is reduced stretching and limited exercise should be introduced under the guidance of your Veterinarian. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
