[RC] Torn back muscle - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Vicki Weiper vweiper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Hi. I'm actually a registered user, but can't seem to post a message, so used the guest post. Anyone have experience with a (horse's) torn back muscle (I think in the loin area) that can give suggestions on treatment? I didn't even know my horse was having back problems; just went in for a Coggins and mentioned that I laid him off 6 weeks this summer because a saddle had torn up his back. The horse flinched when my vet ran his fist down one side, so he rubbed the muscles from the inside and found that he was sore. He put my horse on daily bute and said to "just leave him alone" for up to six months, but I'll bet there are things I can do to help the healing process.
