This just piqued my curiousity after another thread.
I'm just wondering how popular it is in the mini world to routinely give banamine after foaling. Most large horse breeders I know have it on hand in case they need it (if the mare is uncomfortable). I have it on hand but I wouldn't just give it unless I noticed obvious signs of pain. Although safer than bute in some ways, banamine can still carry side-effects and risks.
