I have been serving to out with a pony who could not be given oral drugs. That is problematic, because it makes it tough for him to obtain routine drugs like dewormers. To additional complicate issues, he’s additionally afraid of injections, so he should obtain oral sedatives earlier than any injections are given.
I’ve labored with the horse in a handful of brief periods, utilizing water in a syringe to copy oral drugs that might be squirted in his mouth.
At the moment, he wanted some routine veterinary care, which required him to obtain an intravenous injection to sedate him. Earlier than this might occur, he wanted an oral sedative.
