Case Study time!
Meet Tex! He is an 18 year old barrel gelding who first presented to Westview Equine in March of 2023 for a lameness evaluation prior to show season. On his initial evaluation, he had a mild β
hindlimb lameness. In Layman's terms, he had a mild lameness that could be seen at a trot traveling in both directions and on a straight line. He also had a significant response to flexions of his left and right hocks. We injected his upper and lower hock joints with 1ml (1 syringe) of arthramid at each site. The video is what Tex looks like now!!
Tex was also re-evaluated for lameness this year to make sure he was still doing well. On this yearβs lameness, Tex was sound on baseline and had very minimal response to flexions of his hocks. Not only has Tex maintained his soundness, but by reaching for a regenerative therapy like Arthramid, we have improved Texβs overall joint health. We are wishing Klara and Tex good luck this year and canβt wait to see what they accomplish!
