It’s important to work with a licensed veterinarian to accurately diagnose the horse’s condition and determine the appropriate dosage and treatment plan. They can also monitor the horse’s response to the medication and adjust the treatment as needed.

Potential side effects of Butazone 20% in horses can include gastrointestinal issues like ulcers, reduced platelet production, and kidney problems. Regular monitoring of the horse’s bloodwork and overall health is essential during treatment.
