[RC] Stifle surgery - Marlene MossTitle: MessageMy vet did a
technique on one of our boarded horses that I hadn't found in somewhat recent
research. This horse was a disaster - would lock up and he would panic and
not stop moving frantically until he got it unlocked. The previous owner
of our place broke her wrist going off him - I took one look at how straight his
hind legs were and thought he shouldn't be ridden. It got even worse, it
was just sad watching him move. He is 3.
So finally his owner
talked to the vet. He does a procedure where he just pinholes that tendon
with a needle. As it heals, it shortens. Now the horse moves
fantastically and doesn't buck except for joy out in pasture. He had
gotten very nervous and would jump anytime someone was around him, now he is
just fine.
It cost about
$300.
