Will this product benefit a horse with an avulsion at the origin of the suspensory in the rear leg? He is already receiving Corta-Flx HA, a multi-vitamin/mineral that balances his hay ration and silica. Thank-you!

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 | Share: Twitter | FacebookMy 9 year old oldenburg gelding has never been 100% sound on his left hind. He seems to drag the toe slightly.. I did a very expensive workup on him including xrays of his hocks and blocks of the entire leg. The only time he went 100% sound was when both the hock and stifle were blocked together, but not one or the other alone. THe xrays showed very mild changes. The vet recommended a very pricey bone scan, as they were at a loss. He doesn have a very small scar on that stifle. What dose do you think I start him on of the ocd? How long at the dose? Thanks!

Also, I did ocd surgery (well not me 😉 7 1/2 years ago on my now 9 year old Thoroughbred gelding, he had an ocd the size of a half dollar in his left stifle, he has never taken a lame step since.. but do you think that I should put him on the pellets as a caution? Thanks again!
Will OCD pellets help him regrow cartilage in my 7 year old thoroughbred gelding?
Friday, September 3rd, 2010 | Share: Twitter | FacebookHey Doc, I have a 7 year old thoroughbred gelding that we raced up until this year. We were training him in the spring and everything was goin good. A couple weeks later we had his left ankle x-rayed and there is almost no cartilage what so ever where his bones met. The vet said to lay him off 6 to 12 months. Will OCD pellets help him regrow cartilage so we will be able to run him again?
AQHA filly diagnosed with Epiphysitis at 12 months
Friday, September 3rd, 2010 | Share: Twitter | FacebookWe have a 16 month old AQHA filly that has been diagnosed with Epiphysitis at 12 months. She had been a a balance, growth 16% formula feed from five months until both hocks swelled up like softballs.
For the last four months she has been on stall rest with orchard grass hay. The swelling has improved – her left hock is almost normal and the right is ping pong ball size. Radiographs taken at 14 months show improvement over originals taken at 12 months, Our vet has suggested that we could start the filly on a supplement. Would OCD pellets be an appropriate choice? Can you provide me with nutritional facts for your product? Do you have any other suggestions for her nutrition needs?
