Alright, well, one of our horse, Grover, is limping really bad. I think he might have arthritis. I was thinking about giving him MSM supplement. Would this be a good product? And is there a difference in MSM powder and MSM pellets? If so which one should I give him? He limps really bad in a trot and a little in a walk. Are there any other products that I should give him and it is a reasonable price? The vet is coming tomorrow. We really need him to get better by Saturday. We have a horse show and we are planning on riding him. He is between the ages of 18-20. Grover is my sisters horse and she dearly loves him and wants to start riding him ASAP. So if there is anything we could do please tell me! Thanks!
I would just wait to see what the vet says. You could run your hands down the affected leg, all the way from hoof to shoulder feeling for heat or swelling, because that would be useful for your vet.
It it turns out to be arthritis there are a lot of natural products out there for horses. We have a old 30 year old pony and in the winter he gets a product with MSM and glucosamine and devil's claw and browellian (sp?) and its really helped him.
