Acepromazine is a tranquilizer that has been used in horses for many years. Due to its mild properties and the fact that horses can be aroused out of the sedation, its use in calming hurt animals has been largely replaced with stronger sedatives like xylazine. Its vasodilatory properties have made it potentially useful in the treatment of laminitis / founder. Generally considered very safe to use there are some considerations that should be taken in account before use. This article is about the contraindications, toxic effects, dosages, and association drug rules that apply to this medication.
