| Hi,
Im a newbie with giving previcox to a horse. I have tablets, not sure the best way to administer it. Do I crush it up in his grain? |

Yes, this is what I do. |

Location: Illinois | I just put the pill in my hand with a little grain & feed it. Or another girl at my barn punches a hole in a baby carrot with a screwdriver, shoves the pill inside, & gives it to the horse. Seems to work well that way too. I don't have a problem getting mine to eat it |

Just make sure you know which size pill your giving. Previcox/Equioxx comes in a 57mg pill and a 227mg. The 227's you give a 1/4 pill. The 57's you give the whole pill. Mine eat it willingly out of my hand with a handful of whole oats. I have also crushed and put on feed as well. Seems to work just as good. |

| I cut a little notch in an apple quarter and fed it. My friend feeds it in a little handful of grain. |

| I dissolve it in a little cup of water and then put it on top of the Platnium and grain. |

Location: TN | The horse I gave it to tended to drop feed so I didn't trust putting it on his feed. I would push it in a soft Probios treat and feed it to him by hand to make sure he swallowed it. |

Location: Southern Indiana | In my hand...maybe with a few pellets of grain. I wouldn't trust putting it in their grain its too small of an amount to know if they dropped it or what. |

Location: Lost in the swamps | I use purina berry good horse treats. they have a hole in the middle
So I stick it in there and good to go. He thinks he's getting treats! |

| I hand feed it out of a bucket with a tiny bit of grain so I know they get it. It is so small I worry if I just toss it in their grain it may get lost, so I hand feed to make certain they get it. Greatest thing ever!

Location: North Dakota | I don't crush it. I just feed the pill in a little bit of Omolene 200. I put it in a small bucket, and then watch my horse eat it to make sure he eats it. Piece of cake. |

I would do the sneak it in a treat/carrot/apple/handful of feed versus putting it in the feed bucket and trusting they don't knock it out.
You can also crush it and dissolve it in water and syringe it, but they may not like it.
