Dr. O, The new Anti-Inflammatory drug Celebrex can it be used on horses????? If yes, what dosage??? My horse has suffered from ulcers in the past and I need to use Bute sometimes but always worry. Would Celebrex be the best. Linda

I am afraid there is no information on this product in horses yet. We do discuss some possible alternatives to bute in: The Horseman's Advisor: Equine Medications: Anti-inflammatory Drugs: An Overview of NSAID's. DrO

also check out vioxx works on humans much better than celebrex they were taliking about doing studies with small animals but i don't think they did it yet check out their web site vioxx is from merck and people only have to take it once a day but i will tell you it qwould be very very very expensive to use on horses it cost humans (both drugs) aroun 3.50-5.00 a day depending upion there dose but vioxx is a miracle drug it works great carol
