-
A disease of horses affecting the hock-joint, or joint of the hind-leg, between the knee and the fetlock. It occurs in two forms: (a) bog or blood spavin, in which the joint is distended by synovia or joint oil; (b) bone spavin, or spavin proper, where there is a morbid deposition of bony substance, such as to unite separate bones-a form which is sometimes incurable.
