phenylbutazone?

[Pipp]

Has anybody ever heard of phenylbutazone being used on rabbits? It's an NSAID I believe, used for inflammation in horses.

I haven't ever heard of it being used in rabbits. I have heard bute is even controversial in the horse world due to people treating without a docs diagnosis.

Being a breeder and seeing this statement
"Although phenylbutazone has shown no direct teratogenic effects, rodent studies have demonstrated reduced litter sizes, increased neonatal mortality, and increased stillbirth rates."
I wouldn't want to use it

I agree with Larry, the less medicine we need to use the better.
