No specific monitoring is required for Banamine® but your veterinarian may recommend routine testing depending on your animal’s individual needs, other medications they may be on, and/or the issue that initially caused your pet to be placed on this medication.
A rare side effects in horses include a condition called clostridial myositis. This occurs when a type of bacteria called Clostridia grow on damaged muscle caused by the injection. Intramuscular administration of flunixin is not typically preferred in horses because a Clostridia infection can cause muscle inflammation and release toxins into the body, which can be life threatening. Intramuscular administration of flunixin is not permitted for use in animals intended for human consumption.
Flunixin is a non-selective NSAID. It blocks the body’s COX- 2 pathway, which lowers the production of natural chemicals that trigger inflammation, thereby reducing fever and offer pain relief. Due to its non-selective property, flunixin also blocks the COX-1 pathway which causes the side effects associated with digestion, kidney health, and clotting.

O tratamento no caso do timpanismo espumoso deve visar a expulsГЈo dos gases e a redução da estabilidade da espuma. O uso de sonda orogГЎstrica, que Г© colocada pela boca do animal e que vai atГ© o estГґmago, pode ser Гєtil para expulsar algum gГЎs, antes que seja obstruГda pela espuma e por restos alimentares.
Aumentar os nГveis de potГЎssio, sГіdio e magnГ©sio das rações devacas em estresse tГ©rmico Г© recomendГЎvel, mas alterações na alimentação nessa situação sГЈo apenas medidas paliativas. O que resolve mesmo Г© refrescar as vacas!
Portanto, a sugestão seria oferecer sal aos animais e ver sua reação.
O tratamento do botulismo deve ser feito no hospital e envolve a administração de um soro contra a toxina produzida pela bactГ©ria Clostridium botulinum e da lavagem estomacal e intestinal, para que seja eliminado qualquer resquГcio de contaminantes.
