[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10157"] Vicki I have a 22 year old horse who is arthritic in his front end. He's had radiographs of his front feet/legs and does have navicular in one front foot/leg. Our excellent horse vet moved away (sigh). Is there an antiinflammatory type med that is safer than bute for horses, on either a short term or a long term basis? We have not been giving my horse bute, as I do worry about ulcers, but if there is something new out there that might make him more comfortable, I'd sure like to know about it. He does see a good farrier and the navicular is under fair control, but he is so stiff in his shoulders. The vet felt he had some arthritis when he saw him last year. This is a 5 gaited TN Walker/Saddlebred cross - a big horse, about 17 hands - who had years of pounding on his front end when gaiting. He doesn't push with his rear - he pulls with his front. Thanks for any ideas you might have. > Phenylbutazone (bute) is a > non-steroidal anti-inflammatory > agent, sort of like aspirin.
