Elite Veteran Posts: 1062 Location: Probably On the Road to the Next Barrel Race!	I'm looking at a fairly pricey wellbred filly coming 3 yo...she had OCD's surgically removed and is back working. I never even heard of them. Is this a deal killer, or a past bump in the road? Edited by CrossCreek 2016-11-15 1:56 PM

It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me necessarily, but I would want new films and have my vet that I trusted look at them and give me their opinion.

Saint Stacey	Lots of factors come into play. If they had a good surgeon and took care of them right away, they aren't a big deal and shouldn't cause problems. If they were left in there and caused a lot of damage prior to removal, you might have problems. I would X-ray the horse and see what the film looked like before making a decision. Your title is really confusing though. OCD's are not calcium deposits. If you also have calcium deposits on top of OCD removal in a 3 year old, that's not a good thing.

You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	OCDs are abnormal, unhealthy cartilage flaps that may contain some mineralization. The fact that they were surgically removed already is a good thing, because the longer the wait, the less success rate with them.
