[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1851168, member: 12607"] Administering phenylbutazone(Bute) to a food-producing animal - even if it is a 'pet' - is not 'off-label' use, it is a prohibited practice. Your vet should know this, if they don't already. Have I used Bute in cattle, in the past? Yes. Do I do it now? No. Would I recommend it to a client, or administer it to a client's animal? No. There is no 'safe' or 'allowable' level for this drug in milk or meat. Livestock 'pet' owners always say, "Oh, I'd never send her to slaughter!"... but, as you've already admitted... if something happened to you and your daughter, your husband would not hesitate to ship her. I've seen it before... the livestock 'pet' owner passes, or is incapacitated, and spouse, kids, or executor of the estate, who have no desire to be a livestock caretaker, ship those suckers ASAP, with no consideration of 'contamination' or withdrawal times(if established).
