My consulting vet said it was OK to keep feeding Flex Free or something similar, as well as the MSM and biotin supplement my gelding has been getting for years. I think it's good to be very cautious about supplements with Cushingoid horses. I get so much free advice about this or that herbal blend, but I never mess around with what is working. I've heard something about yucca not being good, too, but I can't remember the source. Does anyone know where to read about it? The problem with most of the blended products on the market is they include so many ingredients that you really would have no idea which one was working, or causing harm. I stick to single-ingredient supplements as much as possible. I appreciate you folks, as I run into very few other people who know anything about Cushing's.

Hi, I had problems with the liquid corta-flex it had too much sweetner in
it and brought on laminitis attack. I have my horse on a yucca/ glucosamine/ ester-c supplement and have had no problems with the yucca at all as a matter of fact she is more sound than in the past 3 years since starting this. We went from needing to have her put down to having her galloping around and the only change was the suppliment. I really do believe that each cushings case is different.
