Had a neighbor call tonight with a horse problem. They have a horse that is a little wild and it got into some chains and wire and has it around it's neck and head and they can't catch it. They asked me about using traquilizer in a dart from a gun. The medicine is rompum or Xylazine. I have used it on cattle, but never on horses. I understand that it is a horse tranquilizer in the first place. Two questions....Is it safe and effective? How much do you give the horse? With cattle it is 1/2 cc per hundred pounds but all cattle react differently, so sometimes it is more and sometimes it is less. How about horses? They want me to come over and shoot it in the morning so they can get the metal off before it hurts itself.
Thanks
