The Horse Anti Inflammatory Solutions The Owners Should Know

By Christopher Ross


Glucosamine is often used to treat a human who suffers problems with their joints, and it works in a similar way when used for horses. It's a naturally produced substance in both human and animal bodies, and the highest amount can usually be found in the cartilage. There are several other horse anti inflammatory drugs that can be used, but the biggest question is just how safe they are.

Your first task is to keep your equine weight to a proper weight for their body so as to not cause unnecessary stress on their joints. A grain free, low carbohydrate diet might help prevent your equine from gaining access weight. Low carbohydrates are said to be the key to keeping your equine weight down. Ideally, it is important to keep the horse in the best of health, with the proper weight, there are less train and fewer chances of injuries.

Arthritis is said to simply spring up from an injury or develop slowly over time. With dogs, a daily amount of exercise along with a good, healthy diet can help keep your pet fit and active, as well as being very beneficial even if arthritis has set in.

However, regular exercise for a cat might be more problematic as their very nature may prevent that possibility. Playing with your cat daily, perhaps by getting them to fool around with their favorite toy you might be able to help them to be more active. As for a horse, your simply leading them around in an enclosure several times might help them best.

Finding a proper diet and a natural anti-inflammatory for a horse is a different matter. Horses are generally grain and vegetable eaters. Meats are not part of their normal diet, so you'll find that different types of herbs from those used in treating small pets will be necessary.

An example is a supplement with Chondroitin, which is said to be a major component of cartilage. Claims have been made that Chondroitin helps keep cartilage healthy by absorbing fluids into connective tissues. Apparently, it also works to block enzymes that break down cartilage, while providing 'building blocks' so the body can produce new cartilage.

One of the more common solutions you will come across when searching for equine anti-inflammatory supplements are the NSAIDs. The NSAIDs work by inhibiting specific enzymes released when the body tissues get injured. The chemicals normally released by tissues when injuries occur are responsible for several functions including healing process and attracting the white blood cells to commence the process of healing. However, these chemicals are also responsible for tissue swelling, inflammation, pain and the general fever.

Excessive use of the NSAIDs comes with several side effects, including damage to the kidney, liver, and other body organs. Gastric ulcers have also been traced to NSAIDs. Consequently, ensure that only safe NSAIDs are used for equine pain relief. Even so, these drugs should not be used excessively.
