I just took my age 20's gelding for Xrays, to compare to his Xrays last Nov. - he had known hock arthritis, and over the last year, has had swelling his left upper hock joint, visible on inside of his leg/hock area. He had been sound on every-6 month ...

I am considering Legend for my older gelding. He is still in light to moderate work (happy that way!). One hock is nearly fused. The other has a slight bone chip and swells from time to time. We were injecting the joint directly, but the injections take...

So we injected his the uppers.

Last Spring I had my gelding x-rayed and it showed the beginnings of arthritis in his hocks. I have had him on monthly Adequan injections and it has helped quite a bit. I have noticed, however, that as we get closer to the end of the "monthly dose", he...

Trying to figure out what to do for my horse... Her stifles have been giving out, even when she is walking in her stall, and she has a hard time making the transition from trot to walk. She has always had a history of weak stifles, which has improved ...

Lower hock, knew that when we bought him, almost completely fused, and he has been feelings in her horses.
It's a risk a sale completely.
