Dietary supplementation is providing hope for some horse owners as a means of managing their DSLD horse. Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) and other dietary supplements used along with special shoeing techniques and stall rest have been successful with some DSLD horses.

Pro-Motion, a new veterinary dietary product formulated for horses with suspensory problems, is now available and may prove particularly beneficial to horses diagnosed with DSLD. The product contains hydrolyzed collagen, glucosamine, yucca, bioflavonoids, manganese and zinc Glucosamine and yucca are helpful to the joints; bioflavonoids are potent anti-oxidants. Positive results have been seen in DSLD horses with the addition of hydrolyzed collagen, manganese and zinc.

Pro-Motion is available through veterinarians. If you are interested in trying this product, ask your veterinarian about it, or order the product direct through Animal Health Options.
