I use a Max health supplement that only has riboceine, which has had amazing results for inflammation in the joints. There is some long distance endurance horses that are using this and the results have been remarkable. Even some hunter/jumpers are noticing the recovery time is cut considerable when their horses get injured.

I have been using spirulina for years, but it does not effect my very severe arthritis. (3 total hips, multiple spinal procedures, etc) What does work extremely well is an HA product called Baxyl. It is manufactured by the same company that produces Hyaluronex. It has effectively given me my life back. I do have lots of pain when I do those things I shouldn’t (trim feet, throw hay, clean stalls, you get the picture)but I can do most things now and rarely have that level of pain.

I found LubriSyn to be amazing. Results in 7-14 days. Also massage and bodywork to address the soft tissue irrited by the arthritic joints

I lost my gelding last summer becuse his arthritis was no longer manageable. I read up on everything including IRAP. At this point most vet’s are hesitant to use this procedure and for your average horse owner with a pet not a high dollar showpony your vet will not recommend or use this procedure becuase it is too costly and the risk of sepsis is too high.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you’re interested in seeing more stories about arthritis treatment. We’ll get right to work on more detailed information.

Alot of good information about the basics of IRAP, costs associated with it etc. However I don’t see in the report where it addresses what conditions IRAP may not be able to help and what types of joint pain may be most responsive to treatment, other than to say injuries that may have benefited from steriods in the past but do not now.

I have a mare with carpal spavin; because it affects the lower joint of the knee and not the flexing part, joint injections provide her with no relief. Would this provide relief until athrodesis can be performed? The surgery cannot be done until she has at the point of know return as it only has a 50/50 chance of success.

I would have liked a more indepth article on this – perhaps the QHJ can reprint an extended version thats a little more in depth.

food supplementation with glucosamine and chondroitin helps me a lot in managing arthritis. dont forget to have regular exercise too.
