Does Danilon Cause Ulcers?

There is also some suggestion that Danilon is less likely to cause ulcers than 'bute'. In the initial stages of medicating your horse with 'bute', it is well worth spending time working out exactly how much is effective for your horse.

Does bute make ulcers worse?

Unfortunately, bute blocks both of these enzymes, alleviating your horse's discomfort (because it blocks COX-2), but making the mucosal lining of the stomach more vulnerable to stomach acid (by blocking beneficial COX-1), potentially leading to ulcerations anywhere along the digestive tract.

Can bute cause ulcers in horses?

Although helpful for many painful and inflammatory conditions, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as phenylbutazone or “bute,” can cause gastric ulcers, especially glandular gastric ulcers.
