We like watching Yellowstone but Hollywood can sometimes be misleading.

Yellowstone fans that are real horse people got a little confusing information on the Sunday, November 17, 2024 episode. This popular show appears to take pride in its western production on being very authentic - yet some how they had a BIG mistake with treating a horse with intramuscular Banamine.

What is the BIG deal? In this Yellowstone episode a horse was administered Banamine (Flunixin Meglumine) intramuscularly. Yet the nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory is only administered orally (in the mouth) or intravenously (in the vein). Remember Banamine is never recommend to be administered to horses any other way.

Why not? Banamine causes muscle damage when injected intramuscularly! There are spores of bacteria known as clostridium that can rest in healthy muscle; however, the bacteria may awaken if the muscle becomes damaged from an IM injection particularly when Banamine is administered this way. This may cause clostridial myositis - which is a serious and sometimes fatal disease. Post injection signs of a problem would be swelling and a painful injection site with gas underneath the skin. The bacterial toxins may migrate into the bloodstream causing depression, colic, fever and a lose of appetite. Treatment by a licensed DVM is necessary if you make this mistake. Supportive care, antibiotics, and possibly a surgical excision of the infected injected site may be necessary.

This episode of Yellowstone was a good reminder - what is entertaining may not always be real and correct. Check with your equine veterinarian if you are unsure how to administer Banamine.

This is a very serious problem in the area right now! The clinic has had multiple cases in the past 72 hours. If your dog is experiencing any of these symptoms please remain in your car and we will come to you. We take every precaution to sanitize the clinic to prevent spreading the virus.

We understand your puppies are fun and cute and you want to take them out in public to show them off but please DON’T! Puppies need all three rounds of the vaccine to be protected from the virus.

If your dog is not up to date on their vaccines please keep them home as well. Most importantly if your dog has symptoms please do not wait to call your vet the sooner you start treatment the better chances your pet has of surviving.
