Will OCD pellets help him regrow cartilage in my 7 year old thoroughbred gelding?

Hey Doc, I have a 7 year old thoroughbred gelding that we raced up until this year. We were training him in the spring and everything was goin good. A couple weeks later we had his left ankle x-rayed and there is almost no cartilage what so ever where his bones met. The vet said to lay him off 6 to 12 months. Will OCD pellets help him regrow cartilage so we will be able to run him again?

    Austin,
    Difficult question to answer with certainty. You may have some cartilage degeneration which OCD Pellets will help but you certainly have some degree of arthritis in this joint which can and will be resolved with the feeding of the OCD Pellets. Whether or not you will be able to run a 7 yr. old (probably 8 yr. old by the time you lay him off and then bring him back) is questionable. However, if you do not take care of the arthritis you will not even have a riding horse.

    Thank you for your interest in OCD Pellets. have a great day.

    Respectfully,
    Dr.D.R. Beebe
