NEVER INJECT BANAMINE!


Banamine is an important anti-inflammatory drug commonly used by equine veterinarians and horse owners to treat a variety of maladies affecting horses we care for.  As this blog post, http://bit.ly/KQXg3x dramatically illustrates, use caution when administering Banamine to your horse!  I highly recommend Banamine NOT be administered as an intra-muscular injection.  The preferred method of administration of this important medication is either orally or by intravenous injection, under the guidance of your veterinarian.  NEVER administer Banamine by the intra-muscular injection route.
