Hi my old 22 year old hackney mare has now been diagnosed with degenerative suspensory ligament disease in her off hind with hyper extension of both fetlocks - she is still being ridden as she is sound in walk and trot but is becoming more and more uncomfortable on this leg when she is resting - the vet has said to give her one bute a day but i dont want to go down this route - i am a fan of global herbs and use their skratch plus for her sweet itch and immuplus for her immune system but have not tried their alphabute - has anyone tried this and if so has it helped or can someone recommend another make - ive heard devils claw is not too good for horses and i really dont want to give up riding her as she enjoys it so much still (she wears premier equine sports medicine boots to help when ridden) but think i need to go down a buteless supplement - which are the best please - thank you in advance
