This is another case of someone injecting banamine into what was supposed to be the muscular triangle of the neck. Either way, this horse ended up with Clostridium causing gangrene. The only treatment is to open the tissues up to the air with a procedure called a fasciotomy. Banamine otherwise known as flunixin meglumine should never be injected into the muscle, even though the label instructs you to give it intramuscular (IM) or intravenously (IV). This is a rare occurrence, but do you really want to risk, loss of life, loss of future performance, down time for this to heal, let alone have the vet bills? I know you don't, especially when another way is available. Either give it IV if you have been trained how to do this with out hitting an artery, because that is another trainwreck, causing seizures in the horse and any damage from going down in such a violent way. Or use the same injectable dosage and without using a needle on your syringe, just so you don't loose any on the ground, sq**rt about 3 mls in the mouth at 1 minute intervals until the entire dosage has been administered.
