| Does anyone have any trick on getting powdered bute into a horse that will not eat it out of their grain. Also cannot give this horse any oral medicine as he hates this and cannot do it to save my life! Therefore mixing it with water is out of the question. He's a little turd for sure.. Any ideas welcomed!

Location: Central Texas | injectible bute, although I hate the thought of that, especially if it is going to be pretty consistant or somewhat long term. |

Location: Montana | A race horse trainer once told me to grind it up and use a piece of garden hose to blow it into their mouth. It does work.

| Paste bute, or use a 60cc catheter tip syringe and mix a lil apple sauce or water in it. Works great, but may need to do it in 2 doses |

I can't give him anything through the mouth with a syringe so paste or mixing it with applesauce and squirting it in his mouth is out. Mixed it with some of his pelleted food soaked with water and he ate *most* of it last night. |

When I get some bute I will send you some. I guarantee it will be good. |

Where do you find the alfalfa flavor, JudyKay?! I've never even heard of this! I only can find apple flavored, which my horses hate apples anyways! |

When a horse is sore and off its feed, sometimes it is attributed to the bute; however when SUPERIORBUTE POWDER comes back on to the market there should be changes to improve and will be better than ever. The FDA just needs to approve the changes. |
