LOL... I taste everything if I can... unless its got bugs .... From Alfafla and molassis to scratch....

I have also tasted Bute...

and the medicine I had to give my son.... I dont want any surprises.... and when my son was little I didnt want to lie to him about the taste...or could hedge my bets and mix it with something he did like.

The other meds for horses I dont taste but smell it good.... Ivermectin paste has an apple smell to it... My goats used to mug me for it... One small tube can worm about four Nigerian Dwarfs...

Be very careful with bute as it can cause aplastic anemia in humans.

My boys, Hawk and Maverick

Nice!

Nice!

Thank you Hawk seems fine and dandy. I got them fly masks because I noticed the flies were starting to drink from their eyes. I use fly spray but couldn't keep them out of their eyes because I can't spray their face and wiping it on their face only deters flies so much. The boys don't mind the fly masks at all and I'm sure it gives them some peace. I take it off at night or if it rains. Here's Maverick with his

I know Kathy.... but the amount was only the size of the head of a pin,.... Like I said taste... And for what its worth I looked it up first

http://www.medicinenet.com/phenylbutazone/article.htm

Its an NSAID and it comes with all the cautions NSAIDs have.... and No its not available in the US any more for human prescription because they have better things.

After reading that.... I dont even want to keep it around for my horse.

Back when my mare was down with a mysterious fever.... The boarding stable called me and told me they had called the VET... I dropped everything and went right out. The vet had already treated her with Banamine...

I asked him why Banamine. His answer was it does a better job of with fevers and pain than Bute... She was up asking me where her treat bucket was within about fifteen minutes...

So now up at the house I have a tube of each. Um er two tubes of each... for her use.... LOL.
