Straight Devils Claw V's No Bute

[madmuppet]

Hi, Who has used Straight Devils Claw compared to No Bute and how have you found it? Do you find Straight Devils Claw Stronger? I have found a website that sells it and says its the stongest and has no side effects.. Has any one found it to be any good for horses with arthritis?

I've used both and felt that the straight Devils claw was better for my boy. Wendalls was very good and he ate it no problem!

I agree.. I use Devils Claw tablets from Holland and Barrett (sp?) Cheaper and much more effective than No Bute & Buteless.

But saying that every horse is different so i guess its trial and error till you find something that suits

 

[madmuppet]

How many tablets from H&B do you give your horse and how big is he?

 

[FAYEFUDGE]

LOL! Madmuppet I was just about to ask the same thing!

she is 16h IDxWB and gets 2 pills per feed, she is fed twice a day.

The thing to remember is you cant really over dose on it cause its natural.. some horses might need 1 pill some maybe 3 its just gauging (sp?) whats right for yours.

Oooh please be careful saying things like this!!! You can over dose on natural herbal remedies just as easily as others!

On the pain relief front, Bosweilla is supposed to be a better alternative to Devil's Claw as it has less known side effects (Devil's Claw can have similar side effects to Bute I believe).

Global Herbs Bute X is Bosweilla based and you can also buy it straight from some sources - Metablic Horse Company for one (email. 2007@MetabolicHorse.co.uk)
