[RC] 1. Bute for colic? 2. "Compunded dipyrone?" - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Kim Huck khuck@xxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Hi all, 1. Has anyone ever heard or taken part in giving Bute for a colic? I was under the impression that Bute should not be given to a deyhdrated horse based on various articles that I've read over time. Recently, a local vet prescribed (over the phone) 2 tablets of Bute for what was determined to be a mild colic case by the owner (no, it's not me) and the vet. I have never heard of giving Bute for colic and to me it sounds like taking an aspirin for a stomach ache. However, if it works... how exactly does it help in a colic case? I also figured that if Bute worked for colic cases, vets would have been prescribing that for years (long before Dipyrone was taken off the market) 2. Speaking of Dipyrone....the vet also mentioned that he had found a place where he could get "compounded Dipyrone". Has anyone ever heard of that? Is that safe? Thanks so much.
