Abstract
A 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare was admitted to the clinic with a 1-month history of lameness of the left hind leg. After clinical and radiological examinations and an bursascopy, the diagnosis navicular disease was made. The therapy consisted of stallrest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and orthopaedic shoeing plus intrabursal injections of short-acting corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid. The therapy was repeated following recurrence of the lameness. According to the owner the horse is currently performing at its previous level.
