Hock Injections - Rest time?

[Ferdinase514]

Can anyone advise me of the time off work needed (if any) post injection?

Thanks

Just a few days ususally

Patches had her hocks injected 18 months ago.

She had three days off, on box rest, and then a couple of days of light work (hacking) before resuming normal activities.

Two to three days usually, then a few days light work. Its usually recommended to keep them off grass for 24-48 hrs after the injections too because of a slight risk of laminitis.
