| How do you get him to eat the CJ? Mine won't touch it
Does the THE need to be mixed and dosed in a syringe like some of their other products or can you top dress it? |

| Call the company and tell them you are having a problem with your horse not eating the CJ. They have different flavors . Platinum CJ and Longevity is great for a older horse. |

The THE products were changed years ago so you can topdress them. |

If you have the money - Flamoxide!! Designed for arthritis.
Or the Joint&Arthritis/Collagen blend (; |

Location: Fort Collins, CO | i had my old man on Smartpak's smartflex II...never saw a difference. (although he didn't show me anything, just thought a 20 yr old who was still running might need something).
Started him on PentAussie over a year ago and I'll never go back--the stuff is AWESOME. IM shot once a month and he is feeling great and it works. |

Does the THE need to be mixed and dosed in a syringe like some of their other products or can you top dress it?
IDK if you followed the billion +1 threads on the alfalfa cubes and pellets .... but ... I have had super good luck soaking the alfalfa cubes, then mixing the CJ in really really well.
When my 3 yo got hurt, we immediately threw her on CJ, about a billion sulfa pills daily, and the soaked alfalfa. Worked like a charm. She ate well, kept weight on, and never refused the drugs or the CJ that was mixed in. :) I have a buddy who team sorts with me that has a super nutty mare when it comes to feed .... anywho, she initially mixed it in applesauce, stuck it in a syringe, gave it to the mare like you would wormer, and in no time that mare was craving the mix so that all she had to do was top dress the applesauce onto grain.
hope I helped |
