It's great.
Helps with clipping if needed.
Can actually be given orally, vs. a shot
I have some syringes of that, and a bottle of Rompun on hand. Comes in handy in certain situations
With these sedatives, though, remember that if the horse is already upset and has his/her adrenaline going, they're not likely to do the trick. Need to be used before the horse has gotten upset.
Robin, that is awesome and an idea that never crossed my mind... and I'm going to bet not my vets' either. I can think of a situation where I for sure would have tried that if it occurred to meI used it on a NON Pregnant mare in order to bring milk in so that she could adopt and feed an orphan colt of mine. Mama had died right after foaling. It took 3 days for her milk to come in. It is a wonderful drug. Saved me a HUGE amount of work.
I ordered it (with the vet's prescription) from a pharmaceutical compounding company called Wedgewood. They overnighted it to me. It was fabulous!!!

Hi Jill... I have used it for the usual uses, bringing milk in after foaling etc... but it was my vet's idea to try it on an open mare. This one was always a great mama, and loved every mares babies. She accepted the orphan without any hestitation... Funny... The vets at New Bolton center were freaking out with worry for my orphan colt... but the second Miss Mary saw the colt, she made that little sound in her throat that mares make when they see their baby, and I knew it would be alright. Since then, this mare will let any foal nurse from her. She is worth her weight in gold!Robin, that is awesome and an idea that never crossed my mind... and I'm going to bet not my vets' either.
