Location: Nebraska | Hi, has anyone used any of the joint supplements with success? There are a lot of products for horses with joint soreness, from one's that contain glucosamine to one's that are anti-inflamatory. Any product out there that really works? Thanks Joan |

The glucosamine is a supplement to aid in the movement of the joints while the anti-inflamatory does just what it says..it reduces the inflamation to allow for ease of movement in the affected joint. The anti-inflamatory will treat the symptom not the problem. |

Location: Mt.Carroll,IL | Which Cosequin product should a person choose?? There are a couple of different ones in the valley vet catalog..Would like to try Cosequin on my paint mare that has arthritis but not sure which one to get...And does anyone have trouble getting a picky eater to eat it in their feed?? My mare notices everything that might be different with her feed...

Location: southcentral pennsylvania | I used Cosequin "Optimized" with MSM. My mare is also a picky eater, and has Cushings to boot. While she normally just gets oats, I take a handfull of sweet feed and mash the Cosequin powder in it, and put it over her oats. She eats every bit. |
