Does anyone have an experience with these?
Yesterday my 12 year old warmblood was diagnosed after x-rays, with arthritis in her off-fore fetlock. This is sod's law as I finally have the opportunity to ride frequently and keep her fit.
So I had her joint injected with these and she's on a course of low-level bute for the next 10 days. 7 days of turn-out and then 7 days of light work (walk & trot).
I've read some wonderful stories on the H&H forum about horses which were good enough to work afterwards and I'm hoping someone here can confirm that the recovery was good and they were able to continue to work.
She's barefoot which I understand is the best possible option for a problem in the fetlock.
Our goal was ODE - but I'm hoping there might be a happy medium between that and "happy hacking".
I had my dog treated this way 7 years ago and the turnaround was quite extraordinary so I'm really hoping it works for neddy too.
I see another thread on the front page about alternative treatments and I will no doubt be purchasing tumeric, cider vinegar, glucosamine and fairy dust.
