I've been reading the posts on locked stifles and now I'm confused. My 6 month old stud colt has a locked left stifle, due to an apparent injury. He is cow hocked, but probably will grow out of it. Vet hasn't seen him, but said to bring him in the morning to have surgery to unlock it. Should I have the surgery? Should I geld him? It's not inherited, far as I can tell. It definitely occurred because of an injury.
Help! Got one chance to take him to the vet in the morning and I'm so confused. Is the surgery expensive?
Thanks for your help!
