What is Phenylbutzone? One of the Shorthorn cows I just purchased got stuck in an ice hole last winter, and limped a bit and then was prescribed this by the local older Vet. She recovered.
When I inspected her prior to purchase she had no limp or problems visable, and I watched her for some time. Apparently the person rounding her up and delivering her to me ran her a bit hard in the 600 acre pasture prior to loading her. (She was born May 10, 1997) She now has a limp, draging one of her hind hoves, looks like the knee is stiff. It is the same one she injured last winter. She drags it about 75% of the time, other short times it appears normal.
The Vet again told me to give her 1,000 mg of Phenylbutzone Powder every other day. She is a larger cow (even for a Shorthorn), but I do not have her current weight.
I searched all over the internet to no avail looking for info on this drug. I am hoping a vet heremayhave the info.
