If you have a horse with a chronic problem and you know what to do, doesn't make much sense to call the vet. I don't try to diagnose problems, I just fix the ones that I'm already familiar with.
Ace is also a good drug to have in your arsenal and you can put it in the muscle and it works just as well as in the vein. Takes a little longer to work, though.
Oh yeah, I agree with that. I'm doing real good with stuff that I've experienced. It's the first time stuff that pops up that I'm talking about.
