Just wondering if anyone knows of an anti-inflammatory which is safe to use over a long period of time.
I have a doe who looks like she may need to spend a significant amount of time on an anti-inflammatory. She's currently on the Australian version of Banamine (Flunixil) but, the thing about that is it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, stomach ulcers and kidney impairment when used long term. Consequently my vet is reluctant to put her on Banamine long term, and due to the nature of this problem the only other option is euthanasia, which I do NOT want to do because she's a bleeding good doe, she's my best doe (of course!) and a highly decorated show winner, plus she has some emotion wrapped up in her as well because she is the first registered doe I got, my first champion etc. as well as having survived a nasty caesarian last year.
So I wondered if anyone knows of some alternatives that are a little safer?
