Hello. The only way to avoid the problem is to avoid the hay. I would definitely make sure you can get & keep some bute on your farm, & the first signs of stocking up, start the bute. If you can familiarize yourself with how the weed looks in the hay, you can pick through it to remove as much as you can. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

She may be having an allergic reaction, which causes the edema, or swelling you're seeing in the legs. If she's not lame, you can give her time, with walking and cold water hosing. If the swelling persists, she probably needs steroids instead of bute and I recommend a visit to your vet for a full exam and bloodwork as well.

The problem with giving your calf medication is that the medication that may work is very expensive for such a large animal. Your calf may have been infected with a disease (BVD) while he was in his mother's womb and these seizures may not ever go away. Phenytoin may not work right away, so you should give it for a few more days and see whether it does indeed reduce the seizures. Do not increase the dose without your doctor telling you to do so, as phenytoin has only a very narrow therapeutic range. Ask your veterinarian about a dosage adjustment or change of medication available for seizures in your calf. if the medications do not work, the problem may be another one, such as liver failure, a liver shunt, metabolic disease.

Soreness in a horse's back is definitely not uncommon, particularly as they get a little older and if they are using inappropriate tack. There are several things that can be done in order to address pain. I would not attempt to "crack" her back without having some measure of expertise in equine chiropractics. Chiropractics and acupuncture are both valuable tools for helping horses but only in the hands of a skilled practitioner. Other options would include anti-inflammatory medication like banamine, phenylbutazone, or previcox. These are all prescription drugs that would require the approval from a veterinarian. Lastly, one thing you should do regardless of your choice is to stall rest delilah for the next few days. Give her back some time to settle down in case there is any spasming. Hope this helps!
