[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1152001, member: 12607"] Bute is not just 'not approved for use in food animals', its use in them is prohibited, due to concerns about human health issues related to tissue residues. I used to use it on cattle, given intravenously, 20+ years ago; was pretty good for musculoskeletal issues; had a serum half-life of ~60 hrs. Wouldn't do it today. Even if the animal weren't going to slaughter for at least 2 years. You never know what might happen - sure, YOU might not sell that animal, but what if you were no longer there, and the family was dispersing the herd, and no one else knew or cared... Don't do it, even if recommended by a veterinarian, they are WRONG to make that recommendation. [/QUOTE]
