The sedative effects in horses of the new alpha 2 agonist medetomidine were compared with those of xylazine. Four ponies and one horse were treated on separate occasions with two doses of medetomidine (5 micrograms/kg bodyweight and 10 micrograms/kg bodyweight) and with one dose of xylazine ...
XylaMed™ is tolerated at 10 times the recommended dose in horses, and at doses above the recommended range in Cervidae. However, some elevated doses produced muscle tremors and long periods of sedation. Warning This drug should not be administered to domestic food-producing animals. Not for...
(6 groups of 6 animals each) were anesthetized with xylazine and ketamine, and when maximally sedated, were given 1 of the following antagonists: saline solution, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), small-dose yohimbine, large-dose yohimbine, 4-AP plus low-dose yohimbine, or 4-AP plus high-dose ...
Xylazine is α2 class of adrenergic receptor agonist.Target: Adrenergic ReceptorXylazine is a drug that is used for sedation, anesthesia, muscle relaxation, and analgesia in animals such as horses, cattle and other non-human mammals. An analogue of clonidine, it is an agonist at the α2 class...
Xylazine, which is commonly referred to as tranq, has increasingly been used in combination with opioids as a less expensive way to stretch out each taken dose, but it has also been found within cannabis vapes, according to the release.1In the US, the CDC has reported that drug overdose ...
All ponies received intramuscular xylazine (1.1 mg/kg) 15 to 20 minutes before anesthesia was induced by rapid infusion of 1.1 ml/kg of GKX-1 in Group 1 and GKX-2 in group 2. Anesthesia was maintained by continuous infusion using a calibrated infusion pump. Total mean GKX dose ...
As shown in Fig. 2a and b, the intracerebroventricular administration of naloxone (2.5 and 5 μg) or clocinnamox (2 and 4 μg) inhibited the xylazine-induced central antinociception (10 μg), respectively. The highest effective dose of the antagonists per se did not modify the withdrawal...
Xylazine has been increasingly used as a recreational drug, particularly in Puerto Rico. It has been demonstrated to provide analgesia for approximately 2.5 hours without notable side effects when administered at a dose of 0.17 mg/kg of body weight.The compound is used in various p...

Alpha-2 agonists cause transient dose-related increase in urine flow in normal horses. Although important clinically, effects of these drugs in dehydrated animals are not known. The purpose of this study was to describe the influence of xylazine (XYL) and detomidine (DET) on urine flow in ...
