I am giving 1 gram of bute daily to a mare who foundered. I plan on doing an embryo transfer in February and was wondering if the bute will damage the embryo.

Shannon,
The post above pretty much addresses what we know. There are effects but healthy foals have been born. I presume you are moving the embryo out of the foundering mare. A question that might follow is there something to sub for the bute safer? I do not have any safer suggestions.
