The appropriate dosage of phenylbutazone (bute) for a 9-hand Shetland pony is generally around 1-2 mg per pound of body weight, but it's essential to consult with a veterinarian for exact dosing based on the pony's specific condition and health status. Always follow the vet's guidance regarding medication and monitor for any adverse reactions. It's also important to ensure that the pony is not receiving bute for an extended period without veterinary supervision.
One level teaspoon is five grams unless the Bute is very light or heavy. If it isn't pure you'll have to adjust accordingly.
Bute is an anti-inflammatory drug used in animals for pain relief or infection. The amount to give an animal, like a sheep, would be based on the age, overall health, and weight of the animal. There is not a dosage that would be the same for all animals.

Shetland Pony's are rough little pony's that don't require allot of space. A normal horse needs about 50M2 of pasture and a shetland only 30. They don't like stables very much. So they are usually outside.
