Acepromazine is most commonly used for veterinary purposes. This medication is used as a sedative to calm animals, usually those who are large and anxious, for instances where the animal must be non-ambulatory.
It killed mine so I would not advise you to use it.
Nerve damage or it can be caused by the use of the tranquilizer acepromazine.
The most commonly used horse tranquilizer is Acepromazine, the chemical formula is C19H22N2O.
Acepromazine can take anywhere from one to three hours to take effect and can be expected to last six to eight hours - all depending on the dose. Acepromazine is not consistently absorbed into the body when given orally. This means that some pets are hardly tranquilized while others are heavily sedated and some animals fight against it's effects. More consistent results are obtained with the injectable product. Boxer dogs have been known to suffer adverse side effects and it is not recommended that they be given this medication.
If ACE is acepromazine, side effects can include low blood pressure, slow heart rate and respiratory arrest. Acepromazine also lowers the seizure threshold, making seizures more likely, so it should not be given to animals with a history of seizures.
Acepromazine is a sedative and the neutering process that is used in todays veterinary clinics is accepted as safe.
If you are asking what is used to tranquilize a horse, it could be any of several different classes of drugs ranging from acepromazine to opioids.
I was given a 10mg dose for my dog who is 14 pounds. Hope this helps.
Yes, you can. At least I have, and it has worked. Try crushing the dose and mixing it into a little bit of whipped cream or inside a small piece of tuna
Our dog is a Shih tzu-daschund mix about 20 lb. Our vet prescribed 1/4 of a 10mg tablet 1-2x daily as needed. Takes a little while to work so anticipate. The standard dosing is between .5 and 1.5 mg per pound (or 1-3mg per kg). http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/acepromazine-promace-aceproject/page1.aspx
