I just recent told about giving Banamine orally. I hear it absorbs quicker through the mucus membranes in the back of the thoat. Also there is less risk as was stated here about about missed injections and later infections.

I looked through your posts trying to find out what you said about giving bamamine orally, but couldn't locate it.
My vet said that it will be 85% effective in 15 minutes. Is this pretty much what you said.

I would agree, I have seen it work it most cases in 15 minutes to a half hour. The most important thing is to catch the warning signs early and start treatment ASAP. The quicker you call it the quicker they recover. I just had one the other night that went down and after 15 minutes or giving banamine and walking he took a big sigh of relief and started eating again and was fine the rest of the night. If you think they are colicing then get on it dont wait for bigger signs.

Are you talkinga bout giving the injectible form of banamine orally or giving banamine paste?

Injectible banamine shows good pain relief within 2 hours when given Im or 15 minutes when given IV. There is some risk of infection and inflammatory reaction at the injection site if Banamine is given IM, so it is recommended that if it is to be give as an injection that it be administered via the intravenous route.

Oral banamine reaches peak serum levels (good anti-inflammatory activity) at 30 minutes after administration.

Here is a good article on pain relief in horses and the drugs that are commnly used. http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/hrs3708
