Please can anyone answer a quick question?
Horse is going to be tested tomorrow am. He is a pig to deal with. Vet usually works on him by giving him a quick sedative in the muscle (in his backside) leaving it to work for a few minutes then we get on with whatever.
Is it possible to sedate a horse for an ACTH test before we pull the blood or will the sedation affect the ACTH test results.
(sorry but this is the one question I forget to ask the vet before booking the appointment today)
