Various Horse Neck Disorders
Abscesses - The application of infrared therapeutic heat will bring an abscess to a head and allow the tissue to heal faster. Be patient since the application of heat to this area may be painful to the horse. Remember to clean the appliance thoroughly before storing.
Phlebitis - Unfortunately there are occasions where an animal must receive numerous intravenous injections within the jugular vein. This results in a localized phlebitis or inflammation within the surrounding tissues of the vein. The application of infrared therapeutic heat aids in the resolution of this problem.
Hypothermia/Shock - After placing an I.V. catheter for the administration of fluids, a few wraps with an elastic bandage holds the catheter in place. The heat appliance can be applied over the top of this to not only secure the catheter but also provide warmth to the circulating blood within the jugular veins.
Muscle Strains of the Chest - The neck appliance is easily applied to the chest musculature. It can be held in place using a regular stable blanket or used in combination with the Thermotex™ therapy blanket. This allows for the application of deep penetrating infrared heat to the chest musculature. Pre-warm the appliance and start the therapy session on the high setting.
