Sedalin help please

[Slightly Foxed]

(Also in Veterinary) I'm having to use Sedalin on The Baggage today as she tried to decapitate the farrier last time she was shod and I had to resort to a twitch. BTW, there are no underlying issues, she's home bred and has always been fine being trimmed with my wonderfully sympathetic and competent farrier, she's just decided to object strongly to having shoes on so for the safety's sake we thought we'd try a bit of light sedation until she gets used to it.

I can't see on the packet destructions how long before the farrier arrives should I administer the dose. Anyone any ideas how long it takes to work?

give it to her an hour - 40 mins before hand and leave her in a quiet stable untill farrier arrives

Depends on the horse. Big WB is a dithering mess after 20 minutes and 1 unit. Small NF had half a tube, and it never even touched him!

Thanks folks, it's a big Warmblood, I'll see how it goes!

Echo an hour. I also shut the top door and leave him as quiet as possible while it does its stuff.

Sedaline doesn't seem to work on my horse at all Luckily when I needed to use it the vet was there so he gave her a shot of the 'good stuff' instead

Ooh 'eck, well perhaps she'll be better today as she's not in season.

Thanks all.
