Hi just wondering if any one has any experience of their horses recovering from a bad laceration to the hock . My youngster damaged it 8 weeks ago in a field accident. Went to hospital immediately for op to debride and clean. Many weeks on with thrice weekly vet visits and over £6 k spent he is still on box rest and starting to go stir crazy. Vet thinks it could be another 6 weeks.
I am running out of funds, insurance only to £3k, and horse is starting to lose it. Is there any dressing that would be waterproof? The injury doesn’t affect him from a soundness point of view. Box rest to aid healing and keep clean. He has to be sedated to change dressing which doesn’t help 😬
Any thoughts much appreciated
