From the article:

So, before you authorize that injection, that surgery, or even administer that medication to your horse, ask yourself a few questions.

1. Why are you doing this?

2. What truly caused this problem in my horse?

3. Is this therapy really tackling the main problem?

4. What do you expect from this therapy and how soon?

5. What negative side effects could pop up that could make matters worse, not better?

6. What is the long-term cost and time comparison between this approach and one that might actually benefit your horse’s body and overall health?

It is always much easier to prevent a health problem than it is to treat one once it has arisen.
