Before associated with these notes, I would like emphasis on the work of the veterinarian "stud" in clinical work struggling to equine health, whatever sport you play activity. Because of this, and especially for the trust that is generated in the team, that these notes are only descriptive and no attempt to influence the medication, training, feeding, etc. Nobody better than your veterinarian to decide on Horse health. Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory
:
Introduction: who does not listen to appoint Drugs for pain. " This group includes the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (steroids), such as Phenylbutazone, Flunixin Meglumine, Ketoprofen, just to name the most powerful. Today we will review these, naming the qualities most important and desirable and undesirable characteristics.
All these drugs have in common an inflammatory work by blocking the production of prostaglandins (inflammatory mediators) by inhibiting an enzyme called cyclooxygenase. That is why apart from his work are potent anti-inflammatory analgesics, and cutting cycle pain. In this main feature is also based its chief side effect to keep in mind: to inhibit cyclooxygenase, prostaglandins, and therefore, do not let these last generate protective mucus of the gastric mucosa, and therefore generate Gastritis and at worst gastric ulcer cases.
Phenylbutazone: most used is the medium, since the 2 nd World War used in horses. The dose varies according to professional criteria 4.4 to 6.6 mg / kg. every 24 hours. Its most notable effect is about 4 hours after the treatment. Some researchers have greater inflammatory arrival to the site over the others due to its acidic qualities, so I prefer to rest in Osteo-muscular disorders. Flunixin Meglumine
: The second in importance to their use. It is a potent anti-inflammatory, whose goodness is the most prominent analgesia in abdominal pain or colic. Your dose is 2mg/kg. This application is also where we must be careful to apply only under medical consent, and that apart from fulfilling an important role in controlling renal colic, also acts as antiendotoxic so to speak, and since before the professional can see it mask a severe and reduce pain for 12 hours and not to show the beginning of endotoxemia, which makes changing the treatment in that period. Ketoprofen
: Applications in recent times is another great-inflammatory analgesic. Your dose is 500mg/kg. every 12 hours a day, then down to 250 mg. East Aine is applied both in bone problems, muscle cramps, etc.. with good results. So does its use promising feature of being selectively cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and thus not causing side effects (gastritis) at the level of the other two.
Finally, we clarify that these drugs have therapeutic purposes, and are very good, but should not be used in abuse, and never to allow an animal to compete should not.
Until next time ...
