Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	Trippin - 2015-04-21 7:18 AM And its an RX correct? I cant just order it myself? Wondering how receptive my vet will be to doing this for me. AND one last question..hes about 1100 lbs...so how many CCs should he get? How often as a loading dose? And after how long should I decrease and to how many CCs? I need it in elementary school directions lol. LOL I did too so I called them. I was told 6 cc's once a week for 4 weeks. And then you can go to once a month 6cc's. My gelding weighs around 1100 too. I am also giving to a pony that is 600-700# and he said to give 3cc's to him. And no prescription if ordered from http://horseprerace.com/index.php?

Ive given the platinum IV before but its a single use vial so you have to give a pretty large dose. I saw no difference in results between that and the gold so I just stick to gold.

A Lady with Fight Posts: 2701 Location: NC	Does anyone use it as maintenance on horses before they have joint issues? Or is it more so for problems that have already flared up?

I give it to my 4 year old who has no known issues so its preventative. What I did with him is do the 7 dose loading of adequan and now he gets pentosan monthly.. Adequan and pentosan work differently but well together. I will continue the adequan load once a year with pentosan monthly.

Or is it more so for problems that have already flared up? futurity trainers regularly give it before big shows....it will quicken one up bc they are not hurting, whether you can recognize them being sore or not if the horse gets out of the 4D and uses himself he is sore somewhere just like you get sore working out sometimes. Aged open horses it can be the difference in .4 or winning the whole 1D. Edited by astreakinchic 2015-04-21 12:22 PM

Expert Posts: 2604 Location: Texas	Since I just had my horse's stifles injected two weeks ago, do you think I would still need to do the loading dose of 1 dose/week for 4 weeks, or could I maybe just go monthly? Or do you think it is better to just start with the loading dose anyways.

I would go ahead and do the loading dose to get the medication into the system then monthly.
