Mild arthritus...

[lucyjay11]

Hi all,

Just wondering what joint supplements you would recommend for my TB.

Hes starting to go a little stiff in his back legs. Hes only 12 years old, however he has raced. Hes only a happy hacker, but i just wondered whether there was something that i feed him to make him feel less sorry for himself!

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you.

My advice? Get a vet to check it out...

Failing that Riaflex Complete or Suppleaze Gold.

Linseed has helped my creaky joints so consider micronized linseed.
