Vets are giving hock injections over and over again as if this should be something we should just expect for our horses when they reach a certain age. Why is this happening? What are our horses ingesting or not ingesting that is causing all the pain, inflammation and arthritis? What the vets don't tell you is the fact that these injections, with Cortisone, will eventually make matters worse than they were before the shots were given. The steroid can actually cause the cartliage to degenerate faster. There is also some evidence to support that it can also damage bone: Synthetic steroids can cause calcium absorption through the gastrointestinal tract that may result in osteoporis or thinning of bones.
Some other side effects of Cortisone are: Irritability, agitation, depression, susceptibility to infections, muscle weakness, damage to the cartilage, thinning of bones, imbalance of the adrenal glands, and the possible narrowing of blood vessels. We believe that these expensive injections can be avoided and your horse will be better off in the long run. Of course, the anti-biotics that are administered after these injections can cause a variety of problems, as well!
There are herbs that contain COX-2 inhibitors. The COX-2 enzyme in the body can cause diseases, mainly arthritis and cancer. NSAIDS, such as bute, can actually block this COX-2 enzyme but while doing so the COX-1 enzyme that protects the stomach, the liver and the kidneys is harmed. Celebrex is an example of another COX-2 inhibitor, but it can also harm the stomach, the liver and the kidneys due to the fact that it invades the COX-1 enzyme as well.
Our Joint and Arthritis formulas contain natural ingredients that block the COX-2 enzyme while protecting the COX-1 enzyme. They will also help to strengthen the cartilage. We use herbal ingredients to reduce pain and inflammation instead of bute.
If you have an older horse with arthritis we advise you to talk to your vet about fusion.
