Degenerative joint disease (DJD)
Increasing DJD Diagnoses Video Transcript
“Any changes are probably more due to us getting better at diagnosing things, rather than innately the animals getting more disease.”—Kent Allen, DVM, owner of Virginia Equine Imaging and a founder of the International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology (ISELP)
“I would say that the riders, owners and veterinarians, in general … are becoming a little bit more particular, a little more sensitive to certain things and we're looking at things a little harder. … So we're identifying issues in horses perhaps a bit sooner than we used to ... We're trying to figure out why they're lame and what could be done more directly to manage that lameness.”— Rick Mitchell, DVM, MRCVS, DACVSMR, an owner of Fairfield Equine Associates and a founding member of ISELP.

Treating DJD in Elite Athletes to Backyard Horses Video Transcript
“You asked us in one of the previous questions about the backyard horse, the medium level horse, and the high-end horse. And my thoughts on Adequan [i.m.] is that is such a great product to recommend for all three of those groups. The group of backyard horses, that is a reasonably cost-effective way to do a really good job of helping that horse's joints. The medium performance horse for the same reasons, plus or minus some more intensive intra-articular therapies. And the high-level horse to perhaps take that interval of joint injections and extend it. So, it just has a place for all of that.”—Dr. Kelly Tisher, DVM, managing partner at Littleton Equine Medical Center in Colorado.

Adequan® i.m. As a Cornerstone DJD Treatment Video Transcript
“I think the better we're able to understand what's happening in the joint, the better we're going to be able to develop treatments, or as in the case of Adequan [i.m.], justify that Adequan [i.m.] is still a very useful treatment. I think the better we understand the better we treat.” —Dr. Gary White, DVM, owner of Sallisaw Equine Clinic in Oklahoma.
