(Wobblers)
- Equine disease
- Narrowing of the vertebral canal due to malalignment or maldevelopment of the vertebrae
- Fast growing male TBs ranging from 8 months to 4 years
- Hind limb ataxia due to cord compression
Cervicospinal Arthropathy
- = "Wobbler" in horses
- Usually presents in first two years of life
- Mainly in fast growing thouroughbreds
- Most common site is C3-C4, can occur anywhere
- Abnormal laxity between the vertebrae + cervical vertebral malformation may be evident
- Osteophyte formation at edges of synovial components of joint
- Some due to stenosis of neural canal later in life (1-4 years of age)
- Clinical signs:
- Ataxia - hindlimbs more affected
- Presumed cause is rapid growth
