Location: W. Pa. | The Dosage of Previcox is absolutely not the same for horses as it is for dogs. Horses metabolize it differently. Do not use the dosage for your horse the same as you would for your dog! Horses require a much smaller dosage than dogs do. |

Location: In my own world | TheDutchMan01 - 2017-12-29 8:05 PM Bute! Some people are so finicky about bute but if he's retired and it helps then use it! I had a mare with bone spurs in her knee that could not be removed and she lived on bute for several years. Previcox would have probably done her wonders but it wasn't really a thing back then.
Some cant use bute for various reasons. My gelding is ulcer prone. No bute for us |

There are two sizes of previcoxx the 57mg tablets are the same mg as equioxx. |

Location: Oklahoma | I maybe wrong but I thought meds was made from Herbs? I know that synthetic stuff been added but it has to start somewhere. I think a lot has to do with the combo of herbs and same with meds can work with ea other or against ea other. Good luck OP I know I got a little off track :)) |

so
Cur-ost Pure > than Previcox?
I have a hard time believing a vodoo threatment of herbs that cost 3 times what the proven medicine(previcox) costs can be better.
What am I missinig?
Well seeing as my horse has kidney stones and another friend's horse had kidney failure both from what 2 different vets felt were the use of NSAID's and neither should be on those medications ever again the voodoo treatment is what we have. 
Previcox can cause kidney problems. Read the insert that has contraindications and warnings. I personally do not use Curost. I use Herbal Respond from Dac. It is all natural. And neither Curost or Herbal Respond are voodoo treatments. Lol |

Location: Conroe, TX 77304 | The pharmacy I was using to get the previcox is closed down, and my vet will not give previcox anymore, although he is the one I got the script from this last time. Equinox is backordered and is not available. Really is a bunch of bull.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Equioxx and Previcox are trade names for the same drug, “firocoxib”.
The dose for horses is 57mg/day. Don’t give 227 mg tabs to your horse! If you have the 227 mg tabs, get a pill cutter and quarter them. The “horse version”, Equioxx, costs at least twice as much.
My advice is to get a script for your big dog (227mg) and get a pill cutter from any pharmacy. They are cheap. |
