So what, exactly, is a Flunixaminer? An injection for use in lactating dairy cows, apparently. Fort Dodge Animal Health just received FDA approval for their branded injection of flunixin meglumine. Flunixaminer is a therapy to control fevers associated with BRD and endotoxemia. These potentially deadly health issues are associated with severe stress, inability to fight infection, and lower milk quality. By reducing pyrexia, also known as fever, the injection helps control inflammation and other symptoms with only 36 hour milk withdrawal and four day meat withdrawal, with approval covering lactating cows and heifers. Flunixamine has been available previously in both the equine and beef industries, so your vet is likely to be familiar already.
