:wave: hemoroid cream:shock:
i went to the rspca roadshow today,the vet there was very good,i happened to mention ruby has had sore hocks,and she said the best thing to use was hemoroid cream.
just wondered if anyone else as used it?
 
Yes this was suggested to me by one of the few exotics vets we have here.
I feel very fortunate that we found him.
Its supposed to reduce the inflammation by constricting up the small blood vessels.
I actually never ended up using it just made changes to the physical environment which was enough to see a major improvement in Gilbert's hocks.
Although judging by some photos posted on 'sore hock threads' we were only dealing with a mild case & early intervention was the key.
However I did think its good to have that option in the arsenal! Its great to know that JacksJane has had success with it.
