Question:
I've spoken to my attending vet regarding this antagonist.....he's saying to give
1/2 the amount SQ and the other 1/2 SLOW IV. I've never placed an IV before. Would it be safe to give the entire dose SQ? Thought I'd ask you guys because your the ones with all the hands on experience. Also, if I'm using just Xylazine for ear tagging....would you leave them down for a bit before giving the reversal or do you guys give it right after your done with them?
I'm only using the Xylazine because my herd is fairly tame. The vet came out last summer and took care of a prolapsed uterus with just Xylazine. So I figure that's much more invasive than a couple ear tags.
