Location: Texas		 This is something you inject into the joint, correct? This makes hock injections last longer? So people that do this every month take there horse to the vet every month to get it injected? That part just confuses me.. I have a horse with bone spurs in both hocks. Previcox made the pain about 25% better. Not sure that he's a candidate for surgery so thinking I may just have to keep injecting, but with injections only lasting 6 weeks I figured adequan may be something that would help push the injections? I have another appointment with the vet either tomorrow am or tuesday pm. Just looking at more options I can discuss with her.

There are two different adequan

The one that is injected into the joint usually as a last ditch effort as there is a 50% joint infection rate (recent studies have shown this to go down but nowhere near As low as HA infection rates)

The one everyone talk about is a intramuscular series, given over 28 days

If your horse has bone spurs, those spurs may be causing pain, as they may be catching on tendons when the horse turns, my first horse I fused had this problem, the laser fusion also zapped the spurs.

Adequan Im is a good idea, and definitely won't hurt your horse.

Location: North Dakota		Adequan IM you can inject yourself just as you would a vaccine in the neck. No need to haul to the vet every time to have it injected.
