From the Wikipedia article.

"It is also used to reduce excessive saliva (sialorrhea).[3][4][5]

It decreases acid secretion in the stomach and so may be used for treating stomach ulcers, in combination with other medications.

Use in treating asthma[6][7] and COPD[8] has been described.

It has been used topically to treat hyperhidrosis.[9][10]"

I've seen a lot from my other board buddies about horses having stomach ulcers and using aloe juice for it. People can get stomach ulcers from aspirin; can bute cause them in horses?

Hyperhidrosis is abnormally excess sweating. The opposite of anhidrosis, lack of sweating, which some horses have exhibited, especially those racing in Florida in the summer.
