Bute advice

[Spangles]

we have a mare on prolonged box rest who is on Bute & I wondered if there was something to counteract any negative effects of the Bute on her tummy ?

A good tummy supplement may help. If it’s longer term, I’d be asking for Danilon instead of bute. A little kinder on the tummy I think.

Thank you. Yes, plan is to use Danilon or similar after initial period of bite (after surgery)

Aloe Vera juice coats the stomach lining

I just went to Poundland and bought bottle of aloe Vera juice and put a bottle in each feed for him when he was on two per day then half a bottle in each feed when he went down to one a day. He was on bute not Danilon and he’s been fine

Ensure access to plenty of water. If she normally has an auto waterer I would supplement with a bucket and if she has a bucket I would add another. My horse developed right dorsal colitis (basically a bute allergy) and I am convinced him only having access to an auto waterer was a factor.

Global herbs restore is very good.
