| When you have acupuncture done on your horse, does the person use B12 in the needles? If they don't use B12, does just using the needles by themselves do any good?

Location: 31 lengths farms | Plain needles on my horse also on the side that she could stand it, on the really sore side the vet had to use a laser. My mare was worse immediately after and I thought I had made a wrong move having the acupuncture done but then the next day she was MUCH improved! |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | the vet used B12 on my horse. Wish I was closer and could have continued to have it done. I had it done on my back a couple weeks ago and it really seemed to help for a few days and then soreness was back. I was too busy to schedule another appt but really need to. Strange feeling for sure. She hooked up some kind of electric pulse thingies and WOW did the one tingle. |
