On the second dose now, first one wore off in exactly 6 months. If your horses has any bone issues I highly recommend you invest in this product.
6 months from injection or the 60 days? |

Location: TN | I had Tildren given to my 16 year old bay mare. wow freaking wow!!  
Had execlent results she went to her first show and won poles with a 20.4 smooth and correct. then she ended up winning the open barrels (she had been placing consistently in the top of the 2D). it paid $510 so it was well worth the $400 MS state University charged.
I was having a problem for a year and half with my 10 year old sorrel mare. no one could find anything wrong. but her performance got worse and she quit using her self. finally after 3 diffwerent DVM one in TN, one in KY, I finally took her to MS State and they figured out the problem but tried simple injections which did not help the last 3 times they were tried but its hard to argue your point when its a different person.
In July of this year I bought a vial of Tildrophos from horse pre race and gave it in 3 shots.
August 25, I took her back to MS state to try Tildren on her her for "bone pain" we have documented x-rays(originally taken back inMay 2015 at MS State) where she developed bilateral sub condroal bone cysts in both humerous(stifle)bones. She said it might help since she has bone pain that we can block out and her gait changes. She was xrayed again and she had improvements on the larger right cyst. (possibly from the horse pre race dose??)any way next monday will be 60 days on the tildren.
I know the question was for osteophos but all 3 drugs are biophosphates so other than strength and activity restrictions placed for each drug there should be simmular effects.
I did learn that there is a new class of biophosphates that has been developed for human use and is very expensive....... the changes are due the increase of breast CA with woman who used the biophosphates. (why they needed a new market (horses))
will let you know the results in a week. any one wanna see video of my winning runs?
tildr0phos= $ 125 from horse pre race
osteophos=$265 given by local DVM
Tildren= $400 given @ Ms State
what do they cost in your state?

Would any of these work for an old arthritic gelding? He creaks like an old house and takes off from a walk or stop slowly, but doesn't ever seem to be in pain or hurting. . . . He's retired and a pasture pet, but I'd do anything to keep him Happy! (Still bucks and kicks and carries on with the other horses) |

Location: here there and everywhere! | My guys suffers from Navicular bipartite (basically he was born with his navicular bone in almost 2 pieces) didnt find out till he was almost 6. He went from barely being able to be ridden (15 min at most) to now i can ride him (at just a walk) for 40 min. we are at almost 90 days since the first injection. I for one think its a huge improvement will be doing another shot again |

| I have a 10 year old gelding with arthritis in a back fetlock. I inject it every 6 months and keep him on NexHa every 3 weeks and he seems to respond well but I've been going to a lot of rodeos on him. Is this something that could benefit him? I've read what I could find about it on google but most of it is talking about navicular. Does it help the body produce extra joint fluid or is it more of like a pain med? |

Excellent article...if people actually read it completely.
Reminds of of what my Biometry professor used to say....
"There are mathematicians, statisticians, and **** liars."
But I've tried both drugs on a few different horses. Tildren showed a lil improvement but not worth the money at all bc we could see the same difference by just giving legend IV the day of the show. Osphos has been the fountain of youth of an aged gelding we have tho... |

You will need to get Tildren or Osphos from yor vet or a prescription from the vet for it, if they give you one. If you give the shots yourself, my vet gives 2 on one side of the neck and 1 on the other side of the neck. |

| I have a brand New Vial of Osteophos, the horseprerace version if anyone wants it. Won't be using it. Curost products seem to be doing the trick for my horses. |

| Hey there, I am using the TOTAL support on both my horses. THe one with some arthritis and joint issues is also on the PURE half dose. My colt gets TOTAL and Adapt/Calm. I paid 125.00 for the osteophos from horse prerace. I would sell it for 50.00 THanks! Just PM me if you want it. Its fresh. But it is NOT Osphos, it is the horseprerace version. |
