not sure if jello mix helps walking but we have found it does make the pig have more of an appetite around show day

Don't feed an ounce of fluid flex. Tried it before... He vomited all over the place. It was real fun cleaning it up.

We've used both and both worked fine. But it was easier and quicker to move c the liquid 50:50 with water in a spray bottle for application. With the gel you need to use a disposable plastic glove and to spread it around.

We used Lubrisyn several years and it seemed to work fine. We have switched to true Track and really like it and it cost us less. You can find out more about it at HogDoc's true north technologies website

Essential Feeds Equex is a great product that is cost effective and also contains a high level of MSM which promotes normal joint health (reduces inflammation).

Did it occur to you the Fluid Flex was old or bad? Not the product we never had a problem with it. One experience does not make facts.
