Location: Oklahoma | Anyone care to share what they paid for suspensory injury treatments? I am most likely going to start shockwave pretty quickly (looking at $125 plus sedative) but I'm curious what PRP and surgeries would cost. Lameness locator picked it up and ultrasound showed swelling/inflammation, but no tears. It's the back right proximal.
Please share your pricing if you're comfortable. If not, please atleast share what treatments did the most help! |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I am curious too.
Where do you get the runners relief? I am dealing with a strained ligament, he never told me what one, but it is in the left front leg. One that holds the pastern bone tight into the coffin joint area. He does really good for a week and then I will find him holding that toe out a bit. I wasn't told to do anything other than corral rest. No stall, but no pasture. Was told 2 months was a good time frame for him to be doing really well and it has been a month. He wears PHT bells up high over that area 27/7 unless I have this Respond Magnetic Pulse boot on him twice a day for 30 minutes. http://www.respondsystems.com/store/item.asp?Category=127&SubCategoryID=&GroupID=&SKU=SALEG
I would love to do whatever I can...I think the surgeries are out of the question and the vet never mentioned them for him as he never tore anything away from the bone. |

Do you know if PRP varies in cost by severity? Your story is very inspiring... I hope I can get a full recovery as I've only had the horse about four months and only made about 10 runs! Never even got to really click with him!
I will get some Runners Relief, have BOT wraps and I might can get access to a Theraplate. |

I have no idea, mine was done about 4 years ago and was considered a severe case with not much chance of recovery. |

Location: Texas | I did PRP and I can remember but I think it was between 1000 and 1500. Might hAve been less it has been a few years since then. He was back running in 4 months and made a full recovery. His was not not able to the naked eye. He was not limping lame or full on swelling anywhere. I just knew he was not right. My particular vet did not feel shockwave was the best treatment for him. He felt PRP was best treatment and then stall rest and hand walking for one month and turned out the rest. I also did magnetic tendon wraps to help it along. |

This sounds very, very similar! Never had an issue with flex tests, but I know he wasn't the same horse I bought at beginning of May. Lameness locator and blocks pinpointed it for us! No heat or limping, but I just had a gut feeling it was something serious. |

Location: Oklahoma | For those of you that did Runners Relief: how long did you do the 12 hour periods for? Will I really need to cotton, plastic and then polo wrap? Will it work the same if I just do cotton and plastic wrap?
Thanks for the replies, everyone! |

Will it work the same if I just do cotton and plastic wrap? Thanks for the replies, everyone! I left it on all night, I don't remember if it was 12 hours, may have been more. I used the cheapest disposble diapers I could buy, with the plastic lining figured they would do the same job as plastic wrap. I cut them in 1/2 and placed where I needed them to be then wrapped with a bandage/standing wrap-used the same ace bandage til it gave out. The diapers were much easier and quicker than plastic wrap and cotton.
My horse too never showed any lameness, never had swelling, just would not work his left barrel. My mistake was not going back to my same vet after what he tried did not work and letting him dig deeper into what could be hurting but going to a new vet thinking we needed a different set of eyes on it. None of the vets I went to though had a lameness locator at the time. I will say each vet really put him through the paces looking for him to be off- he never showed a hint of being off.

I would for sure do the shockwave, then even wrap with BOT quick wraps and use sore no more linement. |

Good Lord! $900 for PRP? My vet does it for $100 per site. The most I paid with another vet was $250 per site. |
