| It's been 14 months since my good horse foundered . He has come back strong and winning rodeos. I pick my places he runs , and good ground etc . He is on adequan full series twice a year , legend when he runs . After a thorough lameness exam with a performance horse vet, we used pro stride in his hocks today. He was pretty sore to flex tests and rightfully so, that hind end has taken the brunt over the last year with the severe soreness those front feet went through . During the lameness exam , on hard ground in a tight circle , he was off on a LF foot . That foot I call his problem foot . It was the hardest to recover from the laminitis . Vet suggested he get pro stride in both front feet and she expected he would have a really positive , regenerative , response . I just don't know ......... any opinions welcome ! Thanks ! | |

After I posted this question I made my decision. I'm going to have just the LF , problem foot done. Going to hold off a month or two on the RF because if it's not broke, not going to fix it . There is tue expense as well. I had two horses hocks done today with it and walked out with a 2900.00 vet bill . Well worth it if it works. The prostride itself is 500 per kit and it's one kit per leg so 1,000 a horse plus the cost to do the injections and lameness exams | |

   Location: Arizona | I have a mare that I injected both front coffin bones with Prostride. She had a bad lameness in the front left. We blocked her foot and she came up sore in the coffin bone. After a month, I went back to the vet, no improvements at all. I had to do an MRI on both front feet. The MRI showed tears in her DDFT (deep digital flexor tendons). We then did Alpha2EQ injections...came back a month later for a follow up. She was much better, no gimp in her step. We then did a Renovo injections to help with the healing of the tears. I will see how this does in Sept for my follow. This mare better come back stronger then ever...I've dumped thousands in her...haha! I should have done the MRI first...it would have saved me a lot!! | |

Is prostride the one that comes from the horse himself, and they spin it a few times and get what they want to inject back in? Renovo is the one that comes from an outside horse, correct? | |

I've never used renovo but your correct on pro stride . They pull 30cc of blood for each " kit" and spin it. Those 30cc make like 5cc stuff lol | |
