Knowing the breed could also give me a clue as to the calfâs mommaâs diet as well as his, as a high protein diet can cause swollen hocks. It can also be a clue as to is he on pasture or concrete ( hard surfaces ) which can also cause swollen hocks. Also I would need to know if he is being conditioned as a show animal.
Puffy hocks can be a sign of injury or of trouble brewing in the joint. But many soft-tissue swellings are not cause for alarm, especially if your horse isn't lame. 1  Thoroughpins are puffy swellings in what should be a hollow between the point of the hock and the main part of the joint.ock Fusion. Your horse doesn't actually need his distal hock joints to use his leg. As DJD advances, the bones sometimes fuse to each other naturally, usually leaving him more comfortable. As a last resort in an advanced case, you may want to consider a procedure to fuse the affected joints.
