Hi all,
Interested in hearing your experiences with fusing hocks.
My older draft cross (late teens) has been having soundness issues, on and off for months. Several vet visits and lots of imaging have narrowed the issue to one hock. We did hock injections (HA & steroid) and started Adequan which seemed to help for a few weeks. However, we are now back to being sore. The hock is trying to fuse and vet has recommended we try to help it along.
Options for now are shockwave, another round of hock injections, and/or ethyl alcohol injections.
Would love to hear your experiences. Has anyone had particular success with any of these options? Would you recommend or not recommend any of them and why?
Thank you!
