<< Wow, that's a pretty high recommendation!

>>When exactly is Adequan advised?>

When you have a horse that is off-and-on three-legged. Anything less, use the
joint powders and back off a little.

>>I think that I read somewhere that an im injection of Adequan would be
useful after a hard race, I'm assuming this would only apply to 100's or
the last day of a multi? You would, I'm assuming, have to wait until
after the final vet check to do this?>>

Adequan is not an immediate actor, so it is not useful in the event or the
day after. A week and you'll see an improvement--the full series and more
improvement that lasts for a while.

>> What benefit would this have for the horse's recovery?
>>

None.
