Bute - best alternatives

[Sali]

Anyone know of any good bute alternatives? My mare has severe allergc reactions to bute so obv it's out of bounds.
We've just succesfully treated cellulitus with a no bute alternative, but just wanted peeps opinions on whats available.
Thanks in advance

danilon ?

Depends why your mare is allergic to bute? Danilon contains an ingredient that the horses metabolism breaks down into bute! But only after the stomach so in theory has fewer gastrointestinal side effects but the same anti inflammatory properties.

Only other NSAID i can think of is finnadyne. I'm sure there are others tho. None of the 'alternatives' such as herbal supplements are as effective although some work to an extent. Depends what you are trying to treat.
