This is really helpful. I teach veterinary technology, and I'm going to incorporate this video into this semester's physiology lesson on the musculoskeletal system. Thank you.
I have a two year old QH that just had rads done in her hock. We’re at the point that we’re bone on bone. She gave me a few options. I-rap-prp-or surgical. We’re planning on turning her out for a year anyhow. Do you recommend doing any of these treatments before turning her out? Thoughts on the options she gave? Thanks for doing what you do!
loved this video!! im going to look into some of these for prevention care. Whats you take on oral supplements like cosequin? are they as effective as IM or IV injections?
Icing can certainly help! I highly recommend icing soft tissue injuries such as bowed tendons or suspensory desmitis but it can be used on joint inflammation as well.
I know you cannot give specific medical advice, but I have a question. Can a horse with moderate hock arthritis be ridden gently? Trail riding at the walk and bits of trot? I ride an older belgian mare who becomes a bit symptomatic in the colder months. She loves to go out walking but becomes a bit stiff and limpy after too much trot. I believe she will be started on adequine soon by her owner.
In The Vet Truck my horse is going in for a possible medical fussing next week of his hock if you need a video idea I would love to know more about it I am pretty nervous about it!! I really love and appreciate your advice
Good video but it’s sad you didn’t mention any therapies other than corporate created drugs. Cold laser therapy? Message? Lifestyle and diet choices that don’t encourage inflammation in the body? Considerate training practices? Tell me you don’t feel amazing after a deep tissue massage?
