What Happens After the Treatment?

Aftercare is as important as the treatment itself although it can be difficult to make sure that you keep your animal calm after treatment they will reap the rewards in the long term, and will help to limit the total number of treatments they may need in total. Aftercare advice differs for both dogs and horses and would need to be assessed on each individual case. The broad guidelines would include:

Dogs

• Shorter walks
• Lead exercise if normally given a free run
• Avoiding jumping on furniture or climbing the stairs
• The most important thing is to find the balance between rest and exercise this would be discussed with you as specific advice will depend on the individual case.

Horses

• Twenty four hours off work
• Gentle return to work preferably a gentle hack
• Turn out unless your horse is likely to gallop around otherwise stable kept and lead walk on the day of treatment
