Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis (DSLD) is a progressive condition of the suspensory ligament in horses,
characterized by weakening and degeneration of the ligament fibers. Common symptoms include swelling above the fetlock,
heat, lameness, and a pronounced “sinking” of the fetlock joint. Early diagnosis, supportive shoeing, and
tailored nutritional support can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
