ferret100 47 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Can anybody recommend me any, I've got a brood mare well in to her 20's but she's getting a bit stiff Don't waste money on joint supplements, it's too late in her life for that, put cod liver or linseed oil into her feed, it will ease the stiffness after a few weeks of getting into her system (same time as a joint supplement would), but the cod liver/linseed oils are much cheaper and will do as much good as an expensive supplement at her age. Might be worth chatting to your vet about a daily dosage of 'bute'. If you don't want to give her bute in feed, mix the bute in with a tub of strawberry yogert and syringe it orally, she'll soon look forward to it! Best of luck with her. Quote Link to post
