Effect of xylazine and butorphanol on experimental hind limb lameness in horses
This study aimed to assess whether sedation with xylazine hydrochloride alone or associated with butorphanol tartrate ameliorate or even abolish induced hindlimb lameness. Intravenous injection of xylazine (0.3 mg/kg) alone (XG) or associated with butorphanol (0.01 mg/kg) (XBG) were given randomly to 16 adult horses.
