Sports Medicine Boots
My 22 year old horse has arthritis?
It has slowly gotten worse. I work him almost everyday like the vet said. And they told me to give him butte every so often when he really needs it. But my question is, is should I get sports medicine boots for him. I have been looking up information on them and they sound like they might help. I am also considering putting him on cortaflex. Does anyone use this? or know any other joint supplements that would help him.
yes, continue administering bute when necessary, it acts like an aspirin for the horse. sports medicine boots provide exterior protection for the horse, they also provide energy absorption and tendon&ligament support. Potentially they could be beneficial for your horse. However, i would also consider putting liniment on your horses legs and wraping them at night (if she is stalled) with knit-track bandages over quilted wraps.
other supplements you may be interested in are GLUCOSOMINE SULFATE
and
CHONDROITIN SULFATE
both of which are over the counter horse supplements proven to provide arthritis relief in horses.
(chrondroitin is naturally found in joint cartalige and supplements of it help to rebuild it)
hope this helps
