Hi all, may lad got kicked on the outside of his knee at the end of November last year, small yet deep, piercing the joint fluid sac and resulting in an emergency arthroscopy and joint flush. He was in hospital 2.5 weeks then home on box rest since. We are doing twice weekly dressing changes to...

Luckily this is his general diet anyway, which is good because I shouldn't have to really change it to give him the support he needs. You're right about constant monitoring.

Yeah hoping his age is something he has on his side ?

This sounds exactly the same so really glad to hear your experience has been positive. He's only a baby (4) so has all his life ahead of him, just hoping for the same outcome x

Thanks for this, yeah I suppose it's just like humans, GA has more effect than we realise I think. And even more so on the horses x

Hi ybcm, I've replied on the vet care thread, thanks x

Under GA, not a standing flush. They did keyhole to check everything and removed a very small cartilage chip (vet says this shouldn't cause any issues going forward), and flushed the joint.

Hi everyone, my boy has just had to have an emergency knee arthroscopy after a kick injury. What are your experiences regarding recovery, aftercare and also costs incurred? Many thanks!

Aww they are absolute beauties @Elliecarby

Thanks that's a really lovely recommendation. Great info x

That's interesting that you didn't notice any weight gain. Can I ask how much you were feeding daily? Ahh bless, yeah it's such a strong flavour. Luckily mine seem to be enjoying for now but they are only having a bit at the moment just to get used to the taste!

Thanks everyone. I'm just weaning my horses onto the flavour in advance of winter at the mo, they seem pretty into it despite the very strong smell/taste. Soaked some this evening, and yeah, it really does swell! Surprised they even say you can feed it dry - suppose it would be ok in small...

Hello Copra feeders - question, do you feed wet or dry? Have you found it beneficial to your horses? Thanks x

Where did you get the NH ones from @Fern007 ?
