Case Story: Tendon injury in a horse

UKs leading pet insurers
The day for the repeat ultrasound finally arrived
The vet confirmed that Chocca would indeed benefit from stemcell therapy. As Annas parents already had the goahead from the insurance company for this the vet could start the procedure the next day. Thanks to the vets skill and some local anaesthesia Chocca painlessly received stemcell therapy from the comfort of her stable. 
Over the next few months Chocca was on a rehabilitation regime of antiinflammatory medication stable rest leg bandages and three times daily cold hosing of both her front legs. The vet also prescribed a carefully planned exercise protocol for Chocca to help with her recovery. Three months after her injury the vet performed another ultrasound on Choccas leg. They gave the good news that her tendon injury was slowly but surely improving. Chocca was responding well to stemcell therapy and rehabilitation. The vet was hopeful that she was going to make a full recovery from her injury. Anna followed the vets rehabilitative plan carefully. And within four months Anna could take Chocca for a gentle trot during exercise. After six months the vets ultrasound revealed that she was able to build Chocca up to one hour of gentle walking and trotting
It was a very long road to recovery but eleven months after her injury Chocca and Anna were back to normal exercise
They were both delighted and very much looking forward to being able to compete again. Thankfully all of Choccas medical treatment was covered by her insurance. This was a huge relief for Annas parents. And meant that Chocca had been able to receive the very best veterinary treatment possible. Hopefully Chocca and Anna will have many more years of adventures together in the future!
