Re: [RC] Windpuffs - same as stocking up? - Angie FuraThanks for the article. It actually answered another question I have about this condition. I was never much of a leg-wrapper post competition, but I'm going to change that now! I suspected it might help with Majik's stocking up. According to this article, it will.
"Trotter says many windpuffs respond favorably to ice or some bandage support between competitions and don't need medication."
I also wonder if Cosequin would help this condition. Any thoughts there?

My understanding has always been is they result from an old inflammation that is no longer an issue but leaves a ermanent "old and cold" blemish. This should be distinguished from an active "new and warm" inflammation. Here's a good discussion http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=13663 Truman -- “I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.” Carl Sagan
