Someone at a barn I was at had shockwave treatments done on her horse.  It 
really helped him.

This message is from: laurie with 


is anyone familiar or had shockwave therapy on their horse? the vet who is 
helping me with oz suggested that as one of the steps in trying to control 
his pain. i have looked into it online, and it seems to be successful in 
pain reductions in some cases. and the price isn't unreasonably high, which 
i'm afraid is a concern for me, even though i wish it wasn't.


right now he is quite ouchie, two weeks after his injections. i have been 
told that they can get quite lame and then the joint will fuse on its own 
and the pain goes away, and i hoping that this is what is going on. we had 
such a nice quiet bareback ride a few days ago, but yesterday it was clear 
he was sore and crabby.


i purchased a nibble net, and it is very effective at slowing down his hay 
consumption, thus making it last longer with less hay. it also keeps it from 
getting tossed on the ground and wasted. he is not fond of the diet he is 
on, but he is making progress as far as slimming down.


laurie, and oz, the wonderful but hungry
