Re: RC: Water Intake/NSAIDS

Nikki, your information is right on.  And yes, in horses, far too much 
Banamine is given without determining hydration status at rides, and CAN 
contribute to further crashing.  Best thing is to hook up that IV and THEN 
give the Banamine if needed--unless you are dealing with something that 
happened early in the ride and ALL hydration parameters are good.  (Even 
then, fluids are usually a big help.)
