rachellyn80 - 2018-10-23 12:07 PM I personally feel that Bute and Banamine aren't utilized enough.... Posts like this only perpetuate the reasoning that "if they need that to run they shouldn't be running"....Why wouldn't an animal need NSAIDs for recovery after what we ask them to do for us??
At any given time we might be seen with a syringe drawn up with Bute, Banamine, B-Complex, Clenbuterol, or Lasix....because I CARE about my horse's soundness and comfort.
I do disagree with this. As an athlete
(when I was younger
), I relied on good diet and exercise to play sports. Now not to stay something didn't happen that I needed an ibuprofen now and again but it wasn't consistent. I don't see my horses as athletes any different. I workout regularly and use a good electrolyte/muscle recovery supplement
(similar to the post workout pastes
) after hard lift days but otherwise I eat well, slowly build myself up before I ask to do anything that's gonna create injury or need for medication.
