Does anyone have experience with Pentosan?
I've been thinking of putting my mare on it. I'm hoping next summer to show a bit more, ideally I'd like to start doing western dressage class on top of my western pleasure shows. I like that the Pentosan is supposedly more effective then feed through, and about the same price.
The down side for me though would be it's an extra $40 a month. My mare has navicular and is currently doing well on all her therapies (Previcox, isox, Osphos and special shoes) which are already cost me a pretty penny each month. I know the previcox takes away the discomfort of the arthritis, but it doesn't do anything for the joints.
It sounds like a lot, but my horse LOVES working. As long as she's happy I'm happy to keep her going. I just want to give her the right tools for the job!
Have you had success with Pentosan?
I've read some people giving it more then every month. Is that common?
