What kind of results have you seen with Polyglycan? Is it enough support by itself? I would be giving it to a 20 year old pole horse.
Also....I have had one vet recommend it (IV) And another (very reputable) vet say she would NEVER I.V. Polyglycan in a horse because it is not labeled to be administered that way. She would ONLY put it directly in the joint.

I use polyglycan on an older horse and have only done it IV as per the instructions of my vet. She has spurs on her knee and it helps keep her sound and comfortable.

This is also how/why I use it. My gelding is 22 this year and has been running on it since he was 18.
I did a loading dose once and it made him act super studdy. After that, I gave monthly and before a big or overnight race.

I have found that every horse I use it on they act super FRESH within about 6 hours and it lasts couple days. Thats why I said 3 days out from a race. Lol now if you have an older horse that needs a little pep up to their get Along then give it day before s race. Lol
