Rough cost- hock medicating?

[poiuytrewq]

As title really, anyone got a rough idea of how much to inject both hocks please?

 

[Pippity]

Mine was around £1,200, including nerve blocks, x-rays, etc. for diagnosis.

 

[Equi]

Generally each injection costs £90ish and then sedation, washing, vet time and call out on top.

mine (one hock) was £200 max I'm sure, no diagnostics vet was happy to use the injection as diagnostic, and it was.

In January. £556.04 for both hocks inc initial examination, 4 x Ray plates and sedation.

? oh wow I wasn’t really expecting that. I vaguely remembered being surprised at how cheap it was when the vet suggested it (ages ago)
We don’t need work ups/x rays etc so that should cut a chunk out.

It’s about £100/injection plus call out.
I’d expect to get both hocks done for around the 250 mark

Around £180 last time I had both hocks on a horse done (this was at the practice so no call out)

Yeah I think I may well go there rather than have them out £10 diesel or £40 call out. All helps!!

Just had mine horse done last week, light sedation, both hocks, call out and VAT = £248

Both hocks & 2 canon joints were done on one of mine & it was just over £400 if I remember correctly. This included some sedation. We have this done about every 12 months depending on the medication the vet uses & our horse is like a new horse when it's done.

Thanks! I’ll get it booked in. It’s not a desperate thing. Last time we saw a vet he said if I felt after a warm up he was still a bit stiff we would do it. He’s 20 and I notice it more when the farrier is etc more than anything but he’s no longer schooling just hacking lightly so I don’t think he “warms up” as such, as he used to.

I think I paid £300 odd for visit, left hock block, trot up etc.

£300 at later date for both hocks injected.
