Taken the plunge :(

Rung vet earlier to have the Danillon talk. Arab mare is still about 1/10 to 2/10s stiff in her left hind leg. So gonna see if Danillon will help stiffness.
I know deep down we couldn't hold off arthiritus forever

I feed EAs Buteless to my pony who has arthritic changes in his pelvis joint (..can't spell sacrilliac...). It's worked a treat. Back woman came out just before christmas and was over the moon with the changes in him!

We had a shetland on that, worked so well for her in her final year. Only thing with Arab is she's very fussy with supplements in feed, she has had Danillon before and actually ate it.

 

[Tinsel Trouble]

Aww! My Welshie loves it! I can pour it in the bucket and he will lick it clean! Makes life very easy in the summer when he can't have a feed!!

Have you tried Devils Claw Root?

My 24yr welsh c is very stiff all round without it but you'd happy as larry on it.

Have you tried Devils Claw Root?

That's the main ingrediant in EqA's Buteless

Oops - sorry, haven't used Buteless so didn't realise that

you might have given this a go already but apple cider vineger ?

I'm about to start as had some good feedback !

 

[ATrueClassAct]

We sometimes joke that we wish our Old Welshie needed the meds, she'd eat anything at all! Why is Arab so fussy , we also can't risk her going off feed as she's skin and bloody bone with feed! Grr horses haha

 

[ATrueClassAct]

Welshie was on apple cider vinegar but we found it even made her and gelding slightly colicky. Arab also has cushings so very wary with her food.

I'm another buteless fan.

 

[ofcourseyoucan]

personally i would rather feed bute or danillon as they have been properly trialled and are safe. devils claw although homeopathic in its nature is more toxic to the liver and kidneys than bute or danelon. and not as effective. with correct dosage to weight ratio you will find that bute or danelon is more effective. (and kinder to the system)

I can't spell Danellon . Vets coming money to see her and give danellon. We want to have her eventually on one sachet every other day whilst it's cold and wet. Vet made me feel better, because at he end of the day she's a retired comp pony whose 23 And she's done well considering her career with her skinny little legs .
