Banamine is a very is an effective med for pain, colic or fever. It is a prescription drug and as such should be used under the direction of a vet. as indiscriminate
use could mask a problem that needs immediate attention.

Pros: effective prescription drug all horse owners should be taught to use

Cons: improper use may mask a greater problem

I have this on hand in case we have a horse that is starting to colic. We live in a rural area so having some meds stocked is nice, you can call the vet and start giving it before the vet arrives if necessary.

Pros: useful for several problems

Cons: none

My horse has had banamine for a number of problems from fever to gas colic. It is very good on both accounts the drawback is that its so powerful its something you don't want to use if you don't have to.

Pros: Its effectivness

Cons: Its hard on the horses stomache

Unfortunately, I've needed to use this more than I care to. If you catch a colicking horse early enough, this can be a miracle drug. Anyone owning a horse should have this on hand at all times.

Pros: Great muscle relaxer for colicking horses

Cons: Needs vet prescription

I have used Banamine on colic symptoms, eye swelling, etc, and it truly does make a difference!

Pros: Effective; fast acting; safe!

Cons: None
