I have a horse, severely lame with high ringbone, that I fought to get bute into for about a year before I found a method that works. I take about a half cup of "Triple Crown Equine Senior", put it in a ziplock bag, mix with enough "hot" water to turn the feed into a mash. I then put a bute tablet into the bag and smash it with a hammer, mix it up and dump it into the feed bucket. I have tried this with all 8 of my horses and they've all eaten it without a problem. I don't know why this works but the key seems to be the "Triple Crown, Senior". Good Luck
