<p>Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis (DSLD) is a chronic condition in horses that affects connective tissue, including the suspensory ligament and other ligaments and tendons. This painful condition commonly leads to debilitating lameness.</p> <p>In horses with DSLD, the suspensory ligament progressively weakens causing hyperextension of the fetlock, hock, and stifle.</p> <p>The precise causes and mechanisms of DSLD are still an active area of research. </p> <p>Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for DSLD and there are no reliable measures to slow disease progression.
