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.

Once the vet diagnoses the problem your horse is suffering, you can then get a list of healthy, all natural anti-inflammatory that are suitable for your specific animal. These products should be able to be used along with their prescribed medication. So, be sure to inform your vet about all of the substances your particular equine may be taking so your vet can make sure there is no dangerous side effect from the combination of medicine and any natural supplements your pet is using.

There are two substances that are said to be found in these supplements: Glucosamine and Methylsulfonylmethane. The purpose of the Glucosamine is to give treatment on the horse's joints just like the usual anti-Inflammatory supplements given to humans. This substance is said to be naturally produced in both an animal's and a human's body; specifically in the cartilage.

It's been said that the purpose of Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is to relieve pain, which in itself apparently can cause inflammation. MSM is said to be an organic form of sulfur, which acts to remove fluids and toxins from cells. And, sulfur is said to support healthy muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Some researchers have claimed they've noted results from using MSM when it's used for post-exercise muscle pain.

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.
