Well, we went to the vet yesterday afternoon, and ended up getting my 10yr old geldings hocks injected, my  vet thought he was probably sore there for a while   I wish they could just tell you what hurts!  I concentrated on his back last year, and figured with the winter off, he would be good as new,,,  Man, I hate myself for being pretty hard on him last year, and to find out the poor boy was sore, in more than one place,,,UGH!    Anyway, he injected him with Adequan (sp?) so, I am giving him a week off for good measure, any suggestions to ease him back into working off his butt again,,,I won't drill him, I will take it easy onhim.

Thanks everyone!

I had adjusted him a ton last year, and figured he would be good as new starting off this year, but since he came up sore again, I knew it had to be something else, so that is why I told him to the vet.  So he has been adjusted again, and now his hocks injected, he is probably thinking,,,it's about time mother!  I hope this takes care of it, I don't know if anyone remembers my post awhile back, about being depressed to the point my horses felt like a chore to me,,,well, since then, I figured out it stems to this horse not being totally "right" since I started back on him, this horse put the fun back into riding for me, and when that fun was taken away, I fell into a depression, I will snap out of it but I am hoping to have him back and 100%.

Thanks

Hey there girl,

I'm kind of surprised your vet only did the Adequan but I think your old boy should be fine.  My bay that I didn't take to Tulsa, after I had him injected, he came back hard and was running great a week after his injection.  Of course I had him on that great Fluid Action too!  He will be fine.  You take good care of your horses and this old boy just needed some maintenance. 

YES,,I tryed it, and all I got was  alot of hair,,,he he he

I hope to run into you somewhere!! I sure will be ready for a few drinks!  I am starting to come around!  I have high hopes that this will work!
