bute

[hunteress]

is there a substitute for bute My boys a little stiff after hunting I usually give him 1, thanks.

 

[spaniel]

No, nothing that does the same job in such a short time. The non prescription herbally type things can take weeks to kick in and arent as effective.

I use Danilon instead, but have to get that from vet too so not much good if you need it right now!

 

[Louby]

Arquel (sp?) or Danilon, both dearer than bute but my boy wont eat bute so if I need it I use one of the others.

 

[collie]

Bute is the most effective and quickest it wont do any liver damage at low doses and irregular intervals.

 

[Dougie]

just to clarify danilon is basicaly another type of bute, along with pro-dynam and equipalazone

Bute is by far the quickest and most reliable drug to use. I have a massive pot of the stuff and wouldn't be without it, even though I rarely use it.

 

[hunteress]

Gosh how did you get a pot of it mine comes in little sachets the vets are getting very tight on giving out these days which I can't blame them for, we just jumped a ditch and the back collapsed so I think my boy just tweeked something not going today giving him the day off as we havn't got long to the end of the season and i'd like to save him he's not a wimp so I knew something was up also he'll get an MOT with Mrs McTimoney lady when we finish, thankyou for all your replys.

Danilon shouldn't be any dearer than 'bute. Mine eat it better as it's not bitter.

My vet gives me tubs of bute and I have an even bigger tub of broad spectrum antibiotics. My vet sells it at almost cost price to me so almost as cheap and certainly quicker and easier than having to order them in from the States.

Things are quite different over here however I always had a supply of bute in my stables in England too ...... wouldn't ever want to be without it.
