Never tried the peppermint solution. It's a decidedly good idea.

I've seen the sugarless ones in the store but they have some type of aspartame or some other dangerous addition.

I'm sure either would do a good job.<br /><br />We have green apple flavored bute powder that smells so good I am tempted myself. :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-50928935879032354472013-03-19T21:24:02.589-04:002013-03-19T21:24:02.589-04:00I agree with Anonymous regarding the coffee grinde...I agree with Anonymous regarding the coffee grinder. I grind flax seed for myself and grinding peppermints would be easy. I buy the Bob's Sweet Stripes (softer candies) or the Brachs big bag at Walmart (5 pounds for about $6) and I think the grinder would make quick work of either "brand."<br /><br />Re bute: My vet sells powdered bute in peppermint, alfalfa or molasses flavors.

We dropped in the medication, the peppermints, and chopped away! Dumped it onto the feed, and none of them were the wiser. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-84226622058613879652013-03-19T18:59:44.911-04:002013-03-19T18:59:44.911-04:00Cuz it's DARK and COLD out thar' lady!

They retain more medicine hiding peppermint flavor when crushed just before use. <br />panavia999https://www.blogger.com/profile/12022750065016664499noreply@blogger.com
