Natural pain relief CBD oil for horses

I think that even if you thought it would help you would need to feed so much of it that it would cost a fortune. I fed it for a while to a dog, I don’t think it helped at all and I was spending a hundred pounds a month on a medium sized dog so I hate to think what a horse sized amount would cost.
 
By chance a CBD product popped up on my FB feed a few days ago. Sold by hempine.co.uk I have no idea what it’s like or whether it works but it’s supposed to be organic and fully lab tested. I have been toying with the idea of giving my Connie some for his hocks rather than Bute.

That's the company I'm using.

My friend has a 5yo cob who had an injury as a foal meaning she cannot be ridden. She tried her on the supplement as a bit of a last resort and within a couple of weeks had a bouncy cob who looks like there's nothing wrong. The owner of the company did say with some there are quite miraculous results, but with others the sweet spot can take a while (sub text I took to mean it doesn't work for all).

I can't feed bute to my PSSM mare and she needs a bit more over winter these days - arthritis too - so its worth a shot IMO. I've got one who has responded incredibly to bozmerix whereas the PSSM mare showed no improvement and I've seen a nutritionist say Bozmerix shouldn't have enough active ingredient for it to do anything. Took the littlest cob off it for a week when I ran out and proved to myself it was definitely helping.
 
I bought the hempine oil last weekend and gave some to my older cob who still has his anxious days, prior to the dentist this week. He has had the same equine dentist for 10 years who is always lovely with him but the last few years have been a bit of a struggle and he was probably the easiest he has ever been to have his teeth done. I did buy it for my young cob who is very sensitive but he refused to eat it but he doesn't like much tbh so it wasn't a huge surprise. So I think it does help with anxiety. I am now going to buy the powder for my older cob to see if it helps with his joints and I will report back.

Anyone use this routinely for horses that struggle with bute and Danilon?

In what way does the horse struggle with bute/danilon? There are hundreds of ways to disguise the taste, it would be much more cost effective to spend money buying a cheese grater to grate apples and carrots into the feed or some peppermint cordial or cake flavouring.

Bit of marmite on bread? Packet of strong mints dissolved in boiling water? Mint, garlic and salt mixed and a little sprinkled over the top of the feed.

Or you can dilute bute with boiling water, cool down and syringe or use a worming bit £20 from Wormers Direct.

Sometimes it's better to give more feed as the taste of bute is 'diluted' whereas a smaller feed is a stronger taste.

If you're worried about long term use of bute, low dose of bute over time is rarely an issue.

Some of us have horses who get gut issues on it.

Lots of horses can't tolerate the effect on the stomach or gut.
