Ask your Vet about Arquel, which is Meclofenamic Acid.   We have had good
success using it to improve sore and bruised feet.  It is a granular
product that top dresses on grain, is very palatable, and its
anti-inflammatory properties go directly to the foot.  It can be given at
one dose a day for 10 days or two feedings a day for 5 days, depending on
the weight of your horse.  As with any drug, it is a good idea to
discontinue use about a week before a ride.
