Your experiences please!!! Any good? Have a very hormonal mare who seems to be in season at least 10 months of the year, and fairly full on with it!!!

Also I've heard that the porcine is much cheaper but how do you get that if it's only available on prescription and you dont have a pig?

? Any tips?

Thanks muchly!
 
the RVC have put my mare is on it for two months to prove that all her problems are related to her ovaries and hormones. She has gone from being in season fortnightly, showing some agression on day 3 of her season and refusing to engage her back and hind quaters to working correctly. She is not cramped up in pain anymore..... brilliant stuff..... having said that I am hoping that this final test is enough to show that she should have an op
 
We used it on a mare at the yard I worked on, it worked wonders, she went from been a right pain in the a$$ to an almost perfect lady in about a week! It's expensive but I think its worth it
 
Our vet stopped doing porcine too, so have just paid £150 for 10wks supply to see us to the end of the season.
But our mare can be impossible to ride without it - she was OK this year until a few more mares arrived in the yard and then they all turned into one hideous hormonal coven!
We would certainly have wasted expensive show entry fees without it.
We are probably going to look at a uterine implant for her next year - it tricks them into thinking they're in foal, can work out cheaper and is supposed to be safer than regumate
 
Yeah,ive used it on a few school ponies with great success- it is expensive but worthwhile, our 2 went from total monsters who you couldnt even do simple things like catch/groom to saints who didnt mind being ridden or handled at all.
Worth the money in my opinion!
 
Does it keep past its shelf date?
If so I have a bottle at the yard that is surplus as only got geldings now. It goes out of date this year, sometime round now.
 
Hi Henners

I'll ask - got friend who's a senior vet nurse - she should know if it has a use by date. If it hasnt I'll happily take it off your hands. I'll let you know.

Many thank everyone for your replies - it certainly sounds like it has to be worth a go.
