Overview
Most veterinarians and owners report that giving phenylbutazone once or twice daily is sufficient. Because blood levels might decrease fast, it`s best to divide the daily dose and give it every 8 hours for the best results. The maximum daily oral dosage ranges from 2 to 4 grams per 1,000 pounds of body weight. For fast inflammatory control, the top limit dose is advised for the initial injection. Following that, the dose should be reduced. The manufacturer recommends a daily dosage of 1 to 2 grams per 1,000 pounds of body weight for intravenous administration. Tablets can be supplied using a balling gun or crushed and mixed with feed in an oral preparation. There is also an oral paste or gel available. This drug can be given intravenously or orally.
