    Location: OK | I haven't used either of these yet, but I've heard some going crazy about them. I read an article by a vet that basically says the studies were a little bogus and sponsored by the companies.
The article is by David Ramey, DVM. It's called "Ready Or Not, Tildren and Osphos Are Here".
I was thinking of having a friend ask about this for a horse, but after looking, the only positive responses I can find are from sites from the drug companies.
Anyone use it that could REALLY tell a difference?

I work at an equine vet. We just started carrying OSPHOS. A coworker with a navicular jumper tried it and can tell a difference. The horse may even be able to return to showing. I was going to try it BUT my mare is so advanced that even the OSPHOS couldn't pull her out of the pasture. Her navicular bone looks like cheese almost. I feel its worth a short and MUCH cheaper. |

    Location: OK | I've heard they may use it for other things. What is it that they actually do to the bone? |

  Location: Central Montana | I have a reiner with navicular. The Tildren did very little for him. After calling around to 5 "local" - local being within a 4 hour drive - vets......I found one here that is going to order Osphos for me so I can try it.
I'm skeptically hopeful. I also started him on Equi Bone about 3 weeks ago.....have yet to see a difference. |
