For those that remember, we had a car accident last week that resulted in the much beloved one coming through the breast bar of the trailer and damaging her chest.

Vet diagnosed muscular/soft tissue damage (doesn't think there is any neurological damage) and gave bute at standard rate and a week of quiet time. He's coming again on Thursday to reassess and I'm hopeful that she may be able to start some gentle exercise again following that.

My question is, with her last dose of bute being on Weds (tomorrow), how long does it stay in her system? I don't want to take any chances with her and would rather wait until I'm sure she's ok and clear of it. Any other advice for exercises to ease that area of the body, either in hand or ridden, would be appreciated!
