To guard against the possibility, conduct routine blood counts at weekly intervals during the early phase of therapy and at intervals of two weeks thereafter. Any significant fall in the total white blood cell count, relative decrease in granulocytes, or black or tarry stools should be regarded as a signal for immediate cessation of therapy and institution of appropriate counter-measures.

Overview
Use as directed by your Veterinarian.
Guidelines to Successful Therapy: 1. Important - To avoid overdosing and to ensure the correct first dose, move ring on plunger to the appropriate dosage position before administration. The edge of the ring closest to the syringe barrel should be aligned to the gram/dosage mark on the plunger. 2. When administering Butequine paste the oral cavity should be empty. Set ring on plunger to deliver the appropriate dosage based on weight. Deposit paste on the back of tongue by depressing plunger. 3. Use a relatively high dose for the first 48 hours (not to exceed 4 g daily), then reduce gradually to a maintenance dose. Maintain lowest dose capable of producing desired clinical response. 4. Response to Butequine paste therapy is prompt, usually occurring within 24 hours. If no significant clinical response is evident after 5 days, reevaluate diagnosis and therapeutic approach. 5. Many chronic conditions will respond to Butequine paste therapy, but discontinuance of treatment may result in recurrence of symptoms.
