How much was nerving? and have you had any issues since then?

This was for my HS rodeo horse so it has been 10 years ago.
However, no we never had any issues after he had healed from the surgery.

The horse was much happier/no longer in pain, and I never had any concerns running him.

I'm gonna just follow this thread. I don't have much positive to say. My 18 yr old gelding has not responded to the osphos, & he is in wedges/pads, but still lame. I frankly, do not want to spend the $ on a bunch of expensive maintenance just so he can MAYBE run in the 5D. I would rather retire him completely. He has earned his place here, and doesn't owe me a thing. I don't have a big horse budget, and I am practical when it comes to considering his age and physical limitations. Its just time for him to retire probably. I do supplement with joint supplements, and pain management. Good Luck. I am interested to hear what others have to say.

update: I was not liking the results with Buteless, so I started my guy on Previcox 3 days ago and he RAN to the feed bucket this morning. It made my heart happy. He also has 3 degree wedge aluminum shoes + flat black rubber pads.

I was very curious about the Buteless. I have never used it but I am not too keen on giving bute everyday either. I was told previcox but just thought I would explore options before starting previcox. Glad to get an honest review.
