Abstract
The production of analgesia and anesthesia in horses in emergency situ ations is problematic because atypical reactions frequently occur. Dru gs for standing chemical restraint should be given intravenously in sm all does to minimize potentially deleterious side effects. The decisio n to anesthetize a horse in an emergency situation must be considered carefully because the cardiopulmonary depression and recumbency associ ated with anesthesia may further compromise the patient.
