Location: Texas | Once you get your horse injected do you still keep them on their joint supplements? I'm inclined to think yes, but just not sure if I'm wasting my money.
Thanks! |

| The only thing that has worked for my mare is hock injections, bi-annual Adequan, and weekly Legend.
I do give OxyMax, which has joint stuff in it, but I don't think that the oral supplements work as well as the above. JMO. |

Location: Texas | She is 9 and this is her first set of injections. She will continue to get her Oxygen Fluidity. She isn't very bad at all, just needs a boost. Her supplements have been helpful, but I think I may pull the joint supplement once we inject her to see if she still needs the oral one. |

Location: North Dakota | It makes me feel better so I keep feeding it. Along with the injections when he needs it, and Adequan.
I would hope that it helps a LITTLE bit, or at least gets them their daily vitamins/minerals. I feed Total Health (T.H.E.)

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | Last time I had a horse injected (about 3 years ago) my vet also gave me a script for Adequan. I never filled it and looking back now I wish I would have.

Location: Piedmont, OK | Yes I do. I think it helps maintain the joints in between injections. I feed Animal Element Performance Detox. |

| I do. I injected 6/2014 and did weekly Pentosan for the first monthly following, then monthly Pentosan every month after and Formula 1 Noni and my horse feels good. |

For me, my mare seemed sore, I had to chase her into her right lead into the canter. She wasn't as fluid and just didn't feel right. She was a bit more irritable. She wasn't limping, but she wasn't stepping up under herself like she usually did. So I took her to my vet for an exam. That's how I knew. |

Location: Phoenix | I've been struggling in deciding on a joint supplrment for my horse who just got injected. The vet I used just said to give a really good vitamin and mineral supplement, or Lubrisyn because it had good results.
I was thinking of ordering Platinum Performance....but then I'm not sure if im entirely addressing the joints....but I don't want to be spending too much as we're not competing and he's a trail horse right now. |

Yes, they are injectables given either IV or IM. I give my poly IV. |
