Description
Arthritis was induced in 8 male calves by intra-articular injection of 1 ml turpentine oil into the right radiocarpal joint. Lameness, and increased levels of synovial total leukocyte count, total proteins and sodium were apparent on day 5. Compared with the 4 untreated controls, the 4 calves given ultrasound treatment (1 W/cm2) for 7 minutes daily for 7 days made a much more rapid recovery
