My horses have arthritis, will wrapping their legs with polo wraps help at all?

August 19, 2011 by admin  
Filed under Arthritis

I've got two horses with pretty serious arthritis and I was wondering if wrapping their legs would help at all. Right now they're pretty uncomfortable because I didn't have enough money to buy their joint supplements for about a week. They went back on the medication yesterday, but they still look pretty sore.

Would wrapping their legs help provide any relief at all? I know polos are to help support the legs, so I was thinking it might possibly help. Any suggestions?

What is causing my urinary incontinence?

August 16, 2011 by admin  
Filed under Incontinence

I have had urinary incontinence for almost all my life. I'm 22 now and have a history of bed wetting until I was about 10 or 11. Even now when I am asleep at night, urine leaks out and sometimes it can be a lot. I do wake up to the sensation of a full bladder but I just CAN'T hold it in. I've seen a urologist who diagnosed me with neurogenic bladder and prescribed me to Ditropan. I took this medication for about a year but it never worked for me. I told my primary physician that I wanted to try something else and he prescribed Enablex. I've been taking that for a few months now and I still have times where the urine just comes out. I have actually been in public and all of a sudden the urine starts to leak out and run down my legs. And I try so hard to keep it in, but I can't. I don't know what to do and I don't know why this is happening. It honestly feels like I'm missing a physiologic feature in my bladder that holds urine in. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Is there any medication to help a dog's arthritis?

July 4, 2011 by admin  
Filed under Arthritis

I have a female mix who is about 14 years old. She's in very good shape to be so old, almost in perfect health for an old lady but like all dogs who get older she has arthritis. I do know if it causes her a lot pain if she walks but sometimes she limps. Other times she a little slow or she stands in a strange manner. Then sometimes she may fall. I hate to see her limp around like that. Is there any medication she can take to help her legs?

I had surgery on my knee a few years back. Could what they did have caused arthritis?

Filed under Arthritis

They drilled into the growth plate to stop growth on my right knee so my left knee could catch up, and possibly even out. The surgeryydidn'tt work very well, and my legs never evened out. However, that is not my point. Could the drilling have caused arthritis or another condition that could be giving me mild to severe knee pain? If it's a different condition, can you please tell me what it is? Thanks in advance!

Is it true that you can get arthritis in your knees if you wear shorts in winter?

June 3, 2011 by admin  
Filed under Arthritis

I play softball, and when I go out on the feild, my legs get warm when I run and do stuff, so I wear shorts mostly. But, some people have told me, that if your knees are exposed to cold air a lot, you can have knee trouble and arthritis when you get older. I'm just wondering if that's actually true.

Is it safe for a horse to carry a baby when she has arthritis in her back legs?

May 31, 2011 by admin  
Filed under Arthritis

I was wondering, I have a mare that is about 15 years old and had arthritis in her back legs, the vet suggests no more than 150 pounds on her for riding at a time. Do you think she is safe to carry a baby for a full 11 month term and then deliver? I don't want her to get hurt in any way.

How can i get rid of my stretch marks?

May 1, 2011 by admin  
Filed under Stretch Marks

I have stretch marks because i grew to fast, not because of a pregnancy. So will my stretch marks fade quickly or are they the exact same thing? I have stretch marks on both sides of my butt cheeks, all over my inner thighs, and the back of legs. How many times a day do I have to apply the "special" cream, and do you recommend any specific lotion or oil?
