#HORSES NAVICULAR FULL#

Obviously, you are just getting started with her but I would stay far away from any barrels until you get her feeling better.Īnd if you've already tried Adequan and Summit, might as while try Pentosan. I am just trying to figure out what I can do to best maintain her, keep her as sound & comfortable as possible.

We have another week before we see full effects of these injections. Her last injections were in June so 6 months ago. The first 2x's I gave her the summit I did see a big difference however the last 2 I didnt see much of a difference. Summit is what she was on with her previous owners which is why I continued it. The vet recommend the adequan instead of summit & looking into osphos. I have only had her since the begining of November so we are still learning one another. In general she is sensitive all the way around and is soft footed. When I had the vet out she was just starting to show head bobbing while trotting. According to xrays and the vets exam last week her angles are perfect right now with just the bar shoes. Vet did a lameness exam a week ago and we ended up injecting her coffins. She is confirmed navicular in both fronts with the right being more severe than the left, heel sore on both, reluctant to put full weight on left front heel when standing tied, in her stall, ect. Her previous owners had her xrayed in June. So knowing more exactly what symtoms or problems your horse has, will be helpful. Next year, I am going to try him on pentosan since my other horse responded so well to it. If needed, I'll do steroid injections but he just needed showed to need it. I tried wedge pads last year when didn't seem to help anymore than the plain shoes. He did very well in just plain shoes on his front feet and on daily Equioxx. However, he moves better and has less problems than horse mentioned above. He certainly does not get his legs run off and I don't run him if the ground isn't good. I tried ProStride last year, which didn't help any more than the cheap steroid injections, so I went back to that. I tried Adequan last year, which helped, but the pentosan has been even better. He is also on daily Equioxx during the competition months. I probably had him the best I ever had this year, with 3 degree pads on the front feet with his shoes, did steroid bursa injections, and then started him on Pentosan and kept him on it every 2 weeks. But his xrays are clean and always have been.

Well, first question, what symptoms does she show? You'll have to clarify more about 'navicular'. What I am wondering is what worked best with your navicular horses for daily supplements? Summit VS adequin? Any experience with Osphos? Any other tips on what worked to manage navicular for any of you? I give her summit 2x a month currently with light-moderate riding, shod with bar shoes on the front, stalled at night with turn out daily. Currently she is on california trace & glc5500 max for daily supplements. Anywho I just purchased a horse to begin running barrels again & she is navicular which we were aware of when we bought her. It's been a really long time since I've been on here, years in fact.
