Abstract: Methods of treating superficial digital flexor tendon injuries, deep and superficial muscle/tendon contracture, navicular syndrome, and suspensory ligament inflammation and injuries in the limb of a quadruped animal, such as hooved animals and other quadrupeds. Such abnormalities may be inflammatory or associated with pain. The abnormalities may be chronic or acute. Such abnormalities may involve anatomical structures a limb, neck, torso, and/or pelvis of the quadruped animal.

Abstract: Methods of treating musculoskeletal deformities of an anatomical structure in a quadruped animal with botulinum toxin are described. Such deformities can be rotational or flexural. Such deformities can be acquired or congenital. Such anatomical structures include a limb, neck, torso, and/or pelvis of the quadruped animal.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods for treating cribbing behavior in animals. Benefits are obtained by administering to the animals to be treated injections of Botulinum Toxin in the sternocephalic muscle, thereby denervating these muscles and preventing cribbing behavior.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods for treating the sequela of laminitis in hoofed animals. Benefits are obtained by administering to the animals to be treated injections of Botulinum Toxin in the limb to be treated. In one embodiment, about 100 Units to 600 Units of Type A Botulinum Toxin is injected in multiple injections into the flexor digitorum profundus muscle of an animal's affected limb.
