Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 As a possibility, the peroneus longus tendon could be loose and slipping out of the sulcus at the lateral malleolus causing that "catch" in the hock. But, it would not account for the referring vet noting a reduced ROM in the hip. Decreased extension could be a tight iliopsoas muscle. The link is to a simple video showing what a loose peroneus longus tendon looks like in a lateral exam of the left hock of a yorkie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOMg00O7XEoJill Kusba, DVM, MS, CCRT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
