I am aware that each horse is different, and sometimes supplements are almost a placebo for paranoid owners (like myself). My horse is 7yo and has the beginnings of a bone spavin in her hock.
I will be discussing options with my vet how best to manage this ( she has had two doses of Tildren in the last 12months and is currently sound) but at the min I am looking into preventative measures rather than letting it get worse and then doing something. Sometimes I find vets have one idea because that's what works for them and I like to be able to suggest other ideas.
One I have heard of but don't know a lot about is Hyaluronic Acid (in injection and supplement form) to help lubricate the joint. Anyone any experience or this or other supplements?
It is not at the stage that we would be looking to fuse the joint - very small amount of degeneration but also an overly sensitive TB !
Thanks in advance.
