[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 175664, member: 852"] I haven't seen [i]just [/i]a needle, but I have seen an injection of lidocaine in the tail head. Nerve block or perhaps it is a spinal block - seen it used when my vet is doing an ultrasound on a cow, on a rectal prolapse, when preparing to flush a cow, etc. Mostly work that involves the back end. Seen it used on a cow with a backwards calf that needed to be rearranged as the tail was coming first, and they couldn't get to the hind feet. Sure relaxes them pronto, that's for sure. While I'm on the topic of lidocaine, I've seen a whole bottle injected into a surgery site prior to making that first incision. Local anesthetic. [/QUOTE]
