Banamine is good for immediate pain relief but should only be used when absolutely necessary. I like boswellia instead of bute, and some people have success with yucca. Liniments, freeze gels & poultices might be useful in some instances. If your horse is severely arthritic, you might want to consider an injectable such as Adequan. Joint injections might be a possibility as well. Pain relievers are great, but they won't solve the problem, they'll just mask the symptoms. Any idea why your horse is lame?

I saw a huge difference in my 14yr mare by starting her on Jointsaver by Figuerola. The vet wanted to put her on bute but due to the long term effects I looked into other products. She is doing great on this she is bucking, cantering, rearing, she feels great! Some of the ingredients are msm, glucosamine, chondroitin, and SAMe. Jointsaver also aids in lubricating and maintaining healthy joint function. Can be ordered through http://www.kvequine.com MSM is a good supplement but your horse is going to need more joint support than just that.

There is no cure for arthritis. If it is too severe, the horse should be retired. Why is your horse lame? Call the vet. Sounds like your horse needs some professional help. Depends on the horse.

Devils Claw can be used everyday. However, you should help get rid of the pain, not mask it. If one is lame, see if you can get special shoes for it, and diagnose the problem so it can be prevented. For your horse with arthritis, get a high quality joint supplement. A good one is Mojo. You can also look into joint injections given by your Vet. Bute can be used, but not everyday.
