Mare just had her hocks injected today. Vet did not mention pain meds.. Only stall for a day, turnout for three then light riding for a week,then back to norm. My older gelding has injections once before but that was a long time ago and for the life of me can't remember if they said give him pain meds????
All the times my horses have been injected my vet told me bute for 2 days after injection. 1 gram morning and night. One time vet just gave bute IV before I left and that was it.
