           MAJOR PROBLEMS:


           TOSCA      169N     FEMALE      4 YEARS OLD

           Dog has what initially,appeared to be a cyst on right rear
           hock. Upon examination by Dr. Adamson, the cause of the problem
           was a sharp blow to the area causing fluid to become
           encapsulated under the hock area. The fluid could not be
           aspirated. Surgery is not advised at this time. The problem
           will, correct itself as the body will rl--absorb the fluid.
           Should the area become red, irritated, and inflamed,
           re-evaluation of the condition will be necessary.
