well the vet came............. (best joint supplement?)

[wildpoppywild]

the vet came to see my TB today and found what could be an absese, but she thinks its more likely just to be severe bruising from the farrier taking her shoes off. so shes got a poultice on just to be safe and the farriers coming tomoro. i'm really regreting following his instruction to take the shoes off

i asked her about her clicky stiff back legs, and she said its most likely mild arthritus so i've to try her on a joint supplement and see how she gets on with it. can anyone recommend any really good supplements??

anyway i hope my big girl gets better soon

I use the herb Boswellia for 30yo Banana's arthritus. Keeps him sound and moving freely, works better than Devils Claw, is much cheaper than Bute and doesn't have the side effects.

I really rate Grand HA Synergy by Grand Meadows (an american company who have recently started selling over here). It has high levels of Hyaluronic Acid which is great for joints. I have used it with great success on arthritic/old/stiff horses. More info here:
