Abi Dean has incorporated Photizo Vetcare into her pre- and post-work regime of her rescue horse, Nemo since the beginning of 2016.

Nemo receives regular Photizo sessions four to six times a week, usually after hard exercise. More recently, Nemo has undergone surgery for three procedures including a full laryngeal tie-back, hobday and soft palate cauterisation.

Abi says, “I am convinced that Photizo has aided in his extraordinary recovery by rapidly improving the healing process after Nemo’s three procedures. Not only were the staples removed within the average time period, but the hobday open wound well-exceeded the rate of healing.

“As soon as Nemo was receiving Photizo treatment, there was a clear display in change of personality and appetite. He began to whinny, his general manner was improved with him looking more willing and happy and he was manoeuvring the neck more.”

According to Abi, most horses spend a minimum of 120 days on a strict box rest after this surgery. Nemo was given the all clear by Ali Mead, FEI Approved Vet (Badminton Horse Trials) to go back into full work on day 36, following the scope – this is less than one third of the normal recovery time for this type of procedure.

Abi uses the Photizo Vetcare to aid her horse’s recovery after hard training and competition. In her own words, “Photizo Vetcare is brilliant for activating the horse’s natural healing, getting rid of lactic acid build-up and repairing tired or sore muscles.
