[RC] Tendon Damage and Glucosamine???? - MARDEBLINE

My 8 year old wonderful boy and partner, Jaybay, pulled a tendon in April, (he fell in a hole at Heart of Texas Ride) I had him in the Vet on Monday when we returned, ultra sound showed a very small tear. After 6 weeks he went back to the vet and the second ultra sound showed clear, my instructions were to 1) start riding slow 2) use leg wrap when riding, and 3) add glucosamine to his diet.   THIS IS WHERE I AM LOST!  The med's from the vet are very expensive and there are so many products on the market I have no idea which is best, has anyone used a product that they have had good results with? Jaybay will have more time off due to my broken ankle, so we have lots of time to get him on this product and ready to ride in Oct. I hope. (my broken ankle required surgery, pins plats and screws) Before the accident we were riding at a slow pace 5 to 10 miles per day and he is doing great! No swelling and not off. Any Help or information will be greatley apprecated!
