I have a 14 year old QH who I event with, he has never had any lameness issues and I am trying to find a supplement that will help prevent arthritis. He is on cosequin equine powder but he does not really eat it, also it’s expensive and I have not seen much improvement in his joints. What LIQUID or PELLET joint supplements help prevent arthritis, lubricate and help the joint.
Also, what are your opinions of yucca? I heard it is just false treatment of the joint.

Thanks in advance!

Is it common for young people who carry more weight to have arthritis?

I put on 50 lbs in 2-3 years because I quit smoking and became less active.
I suppose arthritic body pains are not abnormal for this case? I just felt that Im too young to have it.. But maybe it can happen at any age and is just depending on the condition of the body?

How do I know if my cat has arthritis?

admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:49:32 +0000

My cat is 12 years old and he takes forever to sit down. He would get into a about-to-sit-down position and stop. Then he would go down alittle more and stop, and more, and so on until he finally sits down. He still runs pretty fast for an old cat. And he plays around with my younger cat too. Although, when he stands up he looks box shaped. I just think that’s because of age.
