My mare also just had a reaction to pentosan gold last week that I had gotten from horseprerace. Gave it in her neck, I thought maybe I got the position of the injection too far forward because she had never had a reaction before, but maybe it was the pentosan??
Thats why I never use shots in the neck or Pec muscles. If you run into a problem those places are so vital to daily functioning that I don't risk it. lol Everything goes in a butt muscle for me. |

Location: North Dakota | mandita8907 - 2016-03-16 8:36 AM Does anyone have any other reputable online pharmacies that have a good pentosan compound for a reasonable price?
Wedgewood Pharmacy, but you need a perscription. |

| My new bottle that I got yesterday from Horseprerace says to give it IV so maybe that is why everyone is having reactions. I know my old bottles said IM but this is a change. |

Has any one tried or compared Rood and Riddles Pentosan product with Horse pre race? |

I just busted a new bottle open last night. I need to check labeling again! Thanks for the heads up. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I've given 5 IM shots to 3 animals out of my last bottle, and 4 out of 5 were fine. One did cause a sterile abscess, probably because I accidentally gave it in some scar tissue--that same horse has gotten 2 other shots from that bottle that didn't bother him at all. |

| If my mare had a reaction why would I give it in her vein?? I tried to contact horse pre race and got an email address for "complaints"....needless to say that was 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything. I won't be ordering anything from them again. |

| I pay a little extra & get the Pentosan from my vet so I know it's come from a reputable lab....and then I feel like I have less to worry about. Lol |

Just because you got a reaction in the muscle doesn't mean the medication is bad. Look at banamine. Almost always bad reaction in muscle but in vein perfectly good even when using same bottle. I've used HPR for 10 years never an issue and have seen night and say results. |

Are you going to continue giving it IM, or swap to IV now that the labeling had changed?
I ask bc I was also giving it IM, and I'm not really comfortable giving IV. I KNOW how, but don't have any practice and it makes me nervous. |

| Well I gave a dose to each of my horses few days ago IM without even looking and my horses were fine. I will probably finish up this bottle IM. |

| I gave my IV tonight instead of IM. So far so good. I'd be careful giving it in the butt incase there was a reaction. My vet has always said do not do it there because it can cause stringhalt if there is a reaction or a build up of scare tissue |

Location: Georgia | I went ahead and gave mine IV. I didnt want her to have any issues plus it gets in their system faster that way. I hope this is a good quality thing im injecting into her!! |

Location: Phoenix | I have one shot left (IV) and I might just go to Adequan....Or maybe Cur-Ost.....and forego the shot altogether because my horse isn't in hard work.....the sketchiness of HPR just makes me worried. And I don't want to have to the IV because I don't know how and seriously can't imagine learning....freaks me out!! :( |
