Horse on Glucosamine  email this discussion to a friend?

bmuncy (3) 6 years ago

One month ago I put my twenty year old horse on glucosamine. In the past she was foundered and had developed arthritis. Since I take glucosamine myself and it saves me from cortisone injection, I decided to try it. Horse arthritis are very expensive so I called the vet and asked. She said I could but it probably wouldn't do her any good. Said I could try eight a day. So, she is up to 7 1500mg a day and is getting built up to eight. Just this week I have noticed a huge difference. It made me cry to see such an improvement. Does anyone else do this for their horses with arthritis?

I can not imagine life without horses. They are the first thing I think of in the morning. I feed as soon as I can get my clothes on and the last thing at night.

why did u do that?"

I've had this horse for almost 14 years. She has given me the best years of her life. Shouldn't I make her senior years as comfortable and as pain free as I can without keeping her on damaging pain medication that does nothing for the inflammation?

You can try apple cider vinegar, it is very effective. From http://aches.in/naturalcuresarthritis.html

Can you pleae give me more info on this? DO you do it? I have heard of vinegar in the summer for flies.

I just checked out the website. My horse not does seem to mind the taste of glucosamine at all. It has a bland taste and horses like that taste (yes, I tasted it). I am going to see if she will eat it out of my hand. I don't know about vinegar even tho' I know it has many health benefits.. Do you have a horse you have tried this on?

Glucosamine can and does help. Another product you could try for her is MSM. Excellent for horses (and people too). It keeps fluid out of the joints and helps rebuild the cartlidge too. It also keep inflammation down and improves cirulation. I pay about $6 a pound for it and you only give about a tablespoon or so a day. 1 lb lasts about 45 days I think? MSM isn't just for old and foundered horses, it's also excellent for young horses that are growing and actively competing horses. Glucosamine is good for competing horses too. It's good of you to look out for your old mare, I'm sure she really appreciates it too.

Thank you for responding with exactly what i wanted to hear, that someone does know about helping their friend. Do you get this in horse supplements or in people? I love hre so much I want to do as much as I possibly can for her. Thank you again.

The horse supplement is cheaper than the one for people. If you can't get it anywhere, pick up a bottle of people MSM at the store. Give her 10,000 mg (or 10 grams) a day. That's equal to what she would get in the horse version.

I will do this! She takes the glucosamine without a problem, even the ones that are no crushed up well. Curious to know how she will accept this Any thoughts?
