I just got a new horse and she has a sore back thinking it's from a bad saddle.. what can I do to fix it? I've been told to crack her back and it will fix it, what's your opinion
Soreness in a horse's back is definitely not uncommon, particularly as they get a little older and if they are using inappropriate tack. There are several things that can be done in order to address pain. I would not attempt to "crack" her back without having some measure of expertise in equine chiropractics. Chiropractics and acupuncture are both valuable tools for helping horses but only in the hands of a skilled practitioner. Other options would include anti-inflammatory medication like banamine, phenylbutazone, or previcox. These are all prescription drugs that would require the approval from a veterinarian. Lastly, one thing you should do regardless of your choice is to stall rest delilah for the next few days. Give her back some time to settle down in case there is any spasming. Hope this helps!

Recent rescue mare sliced left front leg in trailer. She has been seen by the vet, muscle cut off, wound cleaned and bandaged with 5 days antibiotics. Vet recommend at time of appt. And today hosing with cold water, wonderdust, and leaving unbandaged
I recommend wrapping the leg to keep it clean and prevent her from licking it. While honey promotes healing and I do use it in some of my wounds, I would advise you to also consult the veterinarian that initially treated Holly.

Wondering about the equine joint supplement lubrigen is it good bad is it tested
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco! I think Lubrigen is a good supplement as a preventive to help with joint health. If the horse already has joint problems this product probably isn’t going to help that much; however, it won’t hurt to use it. As far as testing goes, the supplements are not regulated by any organization like the FDA so I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s tested. Most companies do their own anecdotal testing but I don’t think I would abide by that. If you’re looking for an actual FDA approved product that has had evidence based testing done, you should ask your vet about using Lengend and/or Adequan. Really, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve. I suggest you talk to your veterinarian directly as they have your horses history and can probably help you make the best choice. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

My horse is a speed horse. After I finish doing a run with her her (mostly left) shoulder starts to twitch if I don't walk her out right away. What should I do?
Ebony may need to have a full exam and lameness workup done by your equine veterinarian to make sure she doesn't have a lameness issue. If there is no soft tissue or bone issue going on causing lameness, she may have muscle pain, and in my experience acupuncture works great for treating musculoskeletal issues in horses. Gentle massage and acupressure techniques and stretching exercises are things you can learn to do as a horse owner and they may help as well. She is at an age where she is likely dealing with arthritis pain also, and could benefit from products like Cosequin for horses. Hope that is helpful!

Wife left marquis for horses in car overnight at work, temperature recommendation is temp over 59 degrees...temp in car was at an estimated 45-50 degrees for several hours, what should we do with it?
I think the most reliable source to answer this question would be Merial who manufactures this medication. Call 1-888-MERIAL1, option 2, option 4. This will prioritize and transfer your message to the appropriate party.
