My horse is on one sachet of bute a day mixed in sloppy wet feed I make up the night before and fed by staff in the morning before turnout. Someone on the yard recently said that bute is not effective when added in wet feed and should be added at the last minute before feeding.
I think they said because the bute granules have a protective outer coating (like tablets for example) which are dissolved when added to wet feed. It has to be fed sloppy at the moment due to a tooth issue and pre-wet due to the addition of mix and speedibeet in the feed.If this is the case I will leave a sachet on top of the feed for staff to add just before feeding.
Any truth in this please? Ester I am guessing you might know.
