Therapeutic efficacy of Tolfenamic acid (8 percent) was evaluated in ten bovines exhibiting signs of lameness. Tolfenamic acid @ 2 mg/kg b. wt. at 48 hours intervals in repeated or single doses as per recovery as an adjuvant to other drugs used in treatment. Lameness, swelling, pain on palpation, animal movement and general health condition were considered as parameters to evaluate recovery from lameness. The results indicated that swelling and pain on palpation was completely reduced to nil on second day and lameness was completely reduced on seventh day of treatment. General health condition was not much more affected due to lameness. The study proves therapeutic efficacy of Tolfenamic acid in lameness of bovines with no adverse effect recorded.
