Dr O, I live in South Africa and have a 17 year old horse that I have had for 10 years. When I bought him I knew there was joint deterioration, but was prepared to look after him, which I have done. However he became lame in the near fore about 6 weeks ago. He has had some bute and been rested since then but is still trotting out lame. He has been to the Onderstepoort Veterinary teaching hospital in Pretoria for x-rays and scoping. There was no definite result, but my Vet thinks there may be navicular changes that are not showing up. She would like to treat him with Isoxuprene but for some reason it is not available in SA. I just can't give up on him. We don't compete but I need to help him and get him through this and will do what it takes. Right now I am not worrying about the price, but need to get the Isoxuprene. Is there somewhere I can order it on the internet? Please can you advise me? I am sure that my vet will be happy to provide a prescription but I just don't know who contact. Anthea

Anthea,
Dr. O will probably suggest you start a new thread. In the mean time, look at:
https://froogle.google.com/froogle?num=30&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&rls=GGGL,GG GL:2005-09,GGGL:en&q=Isoxsuprine%20&btnG=Search&sa=N&tab=wf
I don't know if any of them will ship to South Africa, however.
Good luck,
Wiley

I too am uncertain about the drug import laws but that looks as good a place as any for her veterinarian to start.
