Problem with Equine America Cortaflex.

[RhennyRocky]

Has anyone ever had any problems with their horse's behaviour while on Cortaflex? Our 10 year old seems to go wild when he's on it. He's very spooky generally and is on Magic, but when he is on Cortaflex he's more spooky and backs away from things, which is unusual (he usually just jumps) and misbehaves. He's usually fairly quiet and dosile, but was quite hyperactive while one Cortaflex.

Was wondering if anyone else had experienced this? Could it be a combination of Cortaflex and Magic? Thanks in advance.

No - I've used it with my spooky arab, it didn't seem to make him any worse..

Perhaps he's feeling better?

My horse is fine on it but the liquid one has alot of dextrose in it which is basically sugar....could that make them a bit loopy?

ETA just looked up ingredients and they all have a forms of sugar whether its dextrose or mucopolysaccharides but these are naturally found in the body, maybe your horse needs joint support in a different form, rosehips, apple cider vinegar? Why is he on cortaflex?
