Thank you Dr. Kellon. He will be ridden on Sunday afternoon for 15-20 minutes. When do you advise I administer the 2 grams of bute...the night before with his ration, or with his morning ration? --

Jamie, The radiographs will give your vet more information. I think you meant ethmoid hematoma. Info here https://horsesandpeople.com.au/ethmoide-haematomas/ . The cause is unknown. -- Eleanor in PA
