Comparative analgesic and sedative effects of tramadol, tramadol‐lidocaine and lidocaine for caudal epidural analgesia in donkeys (Equus asinus)

Conclusions and clinical relevanceEpidural combination of TRLD produced an anti‐nociceptive effect in the perineum, which was rapid in onset and had a longer duration of action than LD alone. An epidural single dose of TRLD combination would appear to provide an acceptable analgesic effect in the perineal region of donkeys.
