MSU seeking horses with bad ankles

MSU is considering a research project seeking non-invasive and more precise techniques for evaluating arthritis and cartilage deterioration in fetlock joints. Twelve to fifteen horses would be required for this project. Donated horses may be of any age, but must have obvious symtoms of fetlock pathology. Donors can earn a tax deduction for including their horses in the project. As part of the research, horses will have to be humanely euthanized to compare imaged results with actual pathology of the joint. For more information or to offer a horse, contact Dr. John Caron at (517)353-9710.
