Teddy - 28 yro Morgan/Quarter X - Pain/Inflammation


JMillwood5@...
 

Teddy has Cushings and has been on PErgolide for several years now at 3 mg/day.    He has some joint issue in his left leg----thought it was the pastern, but xrays are clean.   He is on glucosamine/MSM supplement.
Currently I am giving him 1 gram of bute per day---1/2 tablet am and pm.   He gets Triple Crown Senior, timothy pellets and alfalfa pellets.   He mostly quids his Bermuda hay.

My question:  What are my choices for maintenance/chronic pain/inflammation?   Is this low dose bute okay as maintenance?    He seems to be relaxing and using the leg/foot more.
