Thanks for this. Is treatment necessary? Do foals grow out of this?
The words “contracted tendons” leads to misunderstanding the cause, which is a rapid growth of the bones. If addressed as it is occurring, the treatment is a dose of oxytetracycline. This antibiotic competes with calcium in the muscles causing relaxation, therefore, allowing for the stretching of the muscle-tendon-bone unit. The elimination of a “contracted tendon” is rapid, often within hours. However, once time has passed, the contraction, while reduced, becomes permanent, as in club foot.
