ABSTRACT
Vesal
N, Mogheiseh A, Standing sedation using xylazine-morphine combination for flank ovariectomy
in a mare, Onl J Vet Res., 15 (3): 249-255, 2011. An 8-year-old
Arabian mare was admitted for anoestrus and
infertility of one year duration. Transrectal ultrasonographic evaluation revealed an enlarged
(approximately 8×7 cm), honeycomb form left
ovary and a small, static right ovary. Standing
flank ovariectomy was performed under a sedative
analgesic combination of xylazine-morphine and
local anesthesia.
The technique described
reliably produces adequate sedation and analgesia for Standing flank ovariectomy in the horse. Standing laparotomy
was a successful procedure and could be an alternative for horses that cannot
undergo general anesthesia due to health problems.
Key words: standing sedation, xylazine,
morphine, ovariectomy, mare.
