One year. Monica and Bunny have been here one year. These two have come so far, and today was another milestone. She’s of good weight, she’s recovering physically and mentally so it is time for her next journey.

We saddled Bunny for the first time since Monica saved her. She did fabulous. Now it’s time to restart her. I know she’s going to do great things and I can’t wait to see Monica ride her. But nothing will be rushed. We will continue slow and steady. I’m so PROUD of both of them!!♥️♥️

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.

Who would have thought this once almost dead horse would turn into the gorgeous girl she is today?! Just look at those dapples! I am honored and proud to be a part of her journey back to health. This horse seriously has a guardian angel as an owner. If she hadn’t stepped up and pulled this horse out of hell, she would have been dead.
