Needing a veterinarian that is really REALLY good at injecting hocks and stifles. Prefer in Mississippi but south/middle Louisiana or Alabama is okay too. Any recommendations?

I highly recommend Mississippi State Equine department. They are the most thorough vet I have ever been too. If there is a problem they are going to find it. Plus they have all the large equipment that would be needed. My favorite vets there Are Dr. Eddy and Dr. Riconni.

I use Mochal and Fontenot at miss state.. Mochal did a knee surgery and has injected hocks, fetlocks, SI for me. she is awesome, they scrub for like 20 minutes and wrap afterward.. I would definitely go to her, you will love her. Fontenot is great too but I used Mochal first so.. Ricconi is no longer there :( Eddy is good to I am sure, she did a colic surgery for me, but I think she is more general where the others are sports medicine specialty.. Mochal recently found suspensory soreness on a horse that used to be 1d and has slowed down 1 whole second and just kinda sluggish for like 5 years, we'd been to 4 different vets and no one could find anything but front fetlock.. He is already back in the 2d out of shape.. she is very thorough.. Highly recommend. Mississippi State University.. They're x ray costs are very reasonable too, I believe (could be wrong) my friend got 12 knee x rays for 240$ when we went in feb.
