Don't worry Fee It works for some and not others, I was led by my vet and she was brilliant she has known my horse since he was a foal. |

Happy it seemed to work for you. My horse had two doses and hock inj. No difference. The professor at the Dick Vet told me that they thought it was going to be the new wonder drug with high success rates but it has turned out to be not that successful.
If I could turn back the clock to when my horse developed a spavin and have all this knowledge I do now I'd give my horse a big fat NOTHING and turn her away to let nature do it's thing. Once again we get caught up in rushing to get things fixed. I didn't know and just went by 'expert' advice. Now my thinking is I'm the expert! (not being boastful) just realise how many 'experts' I had to listen to re my horse and the influence they have!
Sorry I'm in such a cynical mood I shouldnt post anymore tonight!

Update - Storm has had three courses of Tildren and Synequin powder over the last 9 months for arthritis in one hock. Earlier in the week the vet came to see him ridden, inhand and lunged. Results fabulous movement fantastic results thanks to Pet Plan. Storm is 17 and going like a four year old.  Here he is 17 years of age and wiining a class of mixed horses at a Berkshire Show.

My then 14 yo PBA had Tildren after being diagnosed with bi-lateral navicular in 2004. Unfortunately it made no difference. At the time it claimed a 60% success rate with nav. cases. He was fully retired a year ago after a couple of years of gentle hacking out, and is field sound. |

We gave it a go with one of ours for arthritis in her hock. Didn't make a lot of difference so we have just managed her on Danilon and she's doing fine on that. |

My mare (Welsh x Arab) had two lots of Tildren (30 days apart). She has early signs of Navicular in one front foot and Arthritis in the coffin joint on the other one and arthritis in both back hocks.
To be honest it didn't make a lot of difference to her. She was lame for almost two years (on and off lame) and then i changed her supplement and that made a huge difference. The new supplement is a mixture of Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM (PM me if you want the name or website)
She has been sound now for just over a year, although she was slightly un-level in trot last week.. |

One of mine had Tildren for Navicular and unfortunately it didn't seem to make any difference. This was backed up by a follow up MRI scan. This mare is out 24/7 with no shoes but if anything has deteriorated particularly when the ground is hard.
I understand it works better for some conditions than others. |

One of ours had tildren after a Navicular diagnosis a year ago. She is now completely sound and on no bute. The only change we have made to her routine is that she now lives out 24x7 and her shoes are now much wider/fatter (if that makes sense). We were very careful - kept her in work just walking in straight lines for months. Used bute and gradually reduced to 1/2 sachet and then got brave and took her off it about 5 months ago. She is fine on both hard and soft ground.
Good luck - what are you using it for? |
