Colic is common with Tildren but not osphos. It does say to monitor the
Horse for 2 hours. |

| This is off subject of Osphos but thanks for sharing that site! You can get all sorts of meds on there, even banamine inj!
I have a question about Pentosan - which kind do you inject with weekly? Platinum or Gold?
Thank you! |

They do mention colic symptons as a possbility for both tildren and osphos. I have used both, Osphos this past time but Tildren numerous times and have not experience any adverse reactions at all. Every horse is different so anything is possible. |

They are all basically the same class drug so not sure if one would be better than the other for hocks. Tildren is IV and Osphos/OsteoPhos/Tildrophos are IM. I posted earlier about wondering if they would be good for hocks as well. The write up on the the Osphos/OsteoPhos/Tildrophos states it could be beneficial for hocks/ringbone. Guess I am going to try a treatment on a horse that is hock sore and see. I currently give it to my gelding that has Navicular issues and it has done wonders for him. |

| With Tildren there is another option. Single limb profusion. Instead of IV they put tournaquit on one leg and put it in the vein. Having said that, a year ago my horse had sore hocks and coffin joint arthritis. Was on previcox daily and double doses before he ran. After osphos and pentosan gold he is sound! I just purchased osteophos because it's been 4 months and I want to repeat the treatment and keep him sound. |

I was. It took me a long time to buy from them. Same with horse pre race. I think they are actually the same. Lol but I talked to lots of people before I ordered. So far so good. It's a risk u take. |

Location: South MS | If you have a problem with your order and are disputing it, you can NOT get hold of an actual person and the only number that works is for the call center that takes orders. This business is BASED in Panama and he is not user friendly! Yes, he has a FL address. Please do your homework. |

That's very unfortunate that you had that problem. I remember you first posting about it. There are lots of us that have placed hundreds of orders with no problems and shipping extremely fast. Lol. Every time i order it comes from Nebraska now. Lol

Location: Bandera, TX | WARNING!!!!
Just gave OsteoPhos to my 25 year old mare. Split it in 3 portions IM. Within 5 minutes she started to colic violently. Waiting for the Banemine to kick in. Praying that she will be ok.
I have given Osphos to another horse before without problems. |

| Thanks for the warning! I just almost gave my horse his today! One of the warnings is your not supposed to give NSAIDS with it, can cause renal failure. Any updates ? |

Location: Bandera, TX | Thank you for asking. She seems ok now. We gave her some Benamine and that helped. Not sure if it burned, or she had an alergic reaction, or what... It came on so fast right after giving it to her. Very odd and scary. I thought I killed my soul mate. |

Ok. Glad she is ok. All the literature says that colic symptoms come on within 2 hours. And if they are fine after that then your in the clear. |
