Today I took my 2 yr old female Sugar to the vet with a hard knot on her leg that looked like a broken or dislocated hock joint in her hind leg. She had not been limping and did not seem to be in pain. X-Rays showed that the knot is a calcium deposit that is attached to the cortex of the bone. The vet said it should not be necessary to remove it unless she seems to be pained by it or it begins to rapidly grow. Has any one else had an experience with this?
