Banamine or Bute

[herfluvr]

Hey all you smart cowboys,  I just got done feeding and checked on a heifer my boys said was a little sore last night when she can in.  Wel she is A LOT sore and Boys are gone and I need to get some anti-inflammatories into her ASAP.  So I have on hand  Fluximine(banamine) and Bute.  The Flux would be easier for me to give her as the bute is bolus.  Vet is not available at the moment.  She injured herself getting out with the mama cows because the fence wasn't on.....won't even go there!  It is her left hind.  She let me feel her leg and there is heat in the lower joint(fetlock to me) and is just pretty sore.  Will be running cool water on it as well when son gets home at lunch.  Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help.  She is a bit  better and a real sweetheart to work with.  She went back to eating so will wait and see.
