| YES!!!! I LOVE pentosan!! I use it on a mare that broke her coffin bone through the joint at 5yrs old and my 1D guy that has SI issues. It completely changed the way they run. WAY more fire power in the arena and smooth during warm ups. My vet said since my horses are hauled so much that I need to redo every 2 months but whatever lol if it works, then im sticking to it! Love it!!  |

Location: Desert Land | I love it, I call it my little miracle product. I usually start to see results after the 2nd or 3rd shot of the loading dose (1x a week for 4 weeks). Then I just do the once a month unless the horse seems like it needs more. |

Location: Texas | Do any of you get your Pentosan from HorsePreRace.com? They seem to be the cheapest place to get it. Are they reputable? What about their omeprazole paste? |

This is where I have bought it from most of the time. They're reputable and the products are great. I have also bought their omeprazole paste and really like it. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I have bought 2 bottles from them, just got my 2nd today. I have done loading dose on a 35+ pony, 22 yr old gelding that my boys ride. I just started my 8yr old that broke his pelvis a couple yrs ago. Hope it keeps him sound. |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | For those that use this, do you still inject? I have a mare that has been off for almost 2 years. I really need to get her hock x-rayed. She worked after injections 3 years ago and the first part of 2013 but then just would not run after that. I really want to try this but is it something you use along with injections to pro-long them? |

3 days. It is a blood thinner and my horse has allergies so if by chance he ever did bleed I don't want that to make it worse |

One open horse we have has allergies too and he has bled before....i'm scared of pentosan for these reasons...I've given it but i'm not crazy about constant use of it. I'd rather pay more for the piece of mind. |

Thanks. I was thinking 3 days as well. My horse is 19 & never bled before but I don't want to take any chances. |

Location: Texas | Just had my horse injected two weeks ago. I am thinking now would be a good time to start him on the Pentosan to hopefully maintain and extend the time before having to inject joints again. Is this logical thinking?

| 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.
