| Outside of injections, and previcox, supplements etc, what other therapies have helped your horse with pain associated with bone spur in hocks? Ice packs, BOT, PHT ?
Thank you! |

Location: Texas | Pht hock boot didn't help mine. On one horse I used silver lining herbs bone and hoof and kidney and it dissolved it but on current horse it didn't work. Just injections for him. |

Location: North Dakota | Pentosan has definitely helped mine with arthritic hocks. It has especially lengthened the time between injections-to about 18 months instead of every 3-6 like originnally planned. I also have a set of magnetic hock wraps that seem to help (but that could just be in my head) :) |

| Centurion Mini Pulse. It has dissolved a splint and a spur on a customer's horse. Also a good joint supplement. I use a compounded Adequan I get from my vet. I also feed TNP and Fluidity from oxygen. Always ice and poultice after running. And if you can sweat it the day before and day of as well as day after.

| I am getting the injections done and also giving previcox. Just wondering what else is effective based on personal experience. :) |

It is a pulsed electro magnetic field therapy. You can use it on knees, legs, hocks, ankles. I've even used on a horse with a sore neck. |

I use the sore no more poultice. I ice every time I ride. The sweat I use is furacin/DMSO.

| Ice horse after a run. Ice vibes without ice before. |

| I don't have a horse with this condition but in general I think heat is good before exercise - BOT hock boots. Followed by cold after exercise - I use Ice Horse after a run. Cold hosing if at home. I also use poultice after a run or hard ride. |

Location: Beggs, OK | I haven't had anything that PHT MagnaCu wraps haven't helped. I recently picked up an older mare with a chip in her knee. I wrapped her knee in the new Hock N Knee Wrap and the next morning she came out of her stall like she was ready to go to a barrel race. |

Location: Here | Please keep in mind that PHT - MagnaCu Hock Boot is no longer the 3n1 It is a hock boot that is getting rave reviews including leading veterinarians. It is compression, copper and PHT Magnetics all in one wrap. They are staying on and horses are happy.
