This week was busy for me because of my career, but this was the week where we went back down to 1/4 pill of Previcox. Honestly, when I went out to see him and walk him this week, I forgot! So it did not make any difference at all from what I could tell. I just saw him tonight and he seemed very happy and walking and turning pretty well. I haven't asked him to canter since our decline last week, but I plan to begin testing it out more this weekend.
My next thought is trying him on Pentosan for the inflammation in his neck and anywhere else he may have inflammation ever. This would be instead of Previcox, MSM, or feed through joint supplements. The interesting thing about this stuff is that is works to actually make the arthritis BETTER, as opposed to the Previcox which just masks symptoms. Adequan and Legacy are similar, but Pentosan seems to be in its own and better ballpark of options.
Tomorrow, I plan on lunging at the walk and canter. I will most definitely hop on for a walk ride, but it just depends how the canter on the lunge goes whether I do a couple more rounds under saddle. We shall see!
