Review on 🐴 Ultimate Hock Protection with Intrepid International Hock Shield Protector by Dave Skidmore

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Product Alert!: Horses

This was temporary relief from ankle pain but had to be discontinued 24/7. Hoping the wounds heal. You CANNOT use them with wet skin or any type of ointment or ointment. They caused damage to my horse's hair follicle (permanent white spot) on the back of his laurel legs at the top of the hock. If the shoes aren't tight enough, they go out, are immediately stepped on, and get soaked with urine and feces. However, this is preferable to wearing too tight, which can result in permanent career damage. I followed the instructions and left room for two fingers, but they caused a tendon tightening right away and a huge bulge in the ankle area anyway. I called the vet. The treatment required three days of laser treatment and no exercise other than walking on her hands. His tendon made a full recovery fairly quickly, but the white spots are permanent, which really stinks. He's handsome, and now his feet aren't considered "clean" anymore. It helped his athlete's foot, but at what cost. I haven't had any product warnings about the likelihood of this happening. Very very dissatisfied with it. This is dangerous. You need to keep a close eye on your animals. If I had known that, I would have only worn them at night and only when my feet were absolutely dry.
