My vet just told me that he did not like to use Ace in stallions....What's this, good old fashioned Ace?? He didn't give me anything concrete as to why he feels this way. Does anyone out there know why this might be? |

Hello Foalmom,
He is probably concerned about the possibility of penile paralysis, called paramphimosis, that sometimes occurs with the use of Ace in stallions. The ace causes the penis to relax and in this position it becomes easily swollen and may become difficult to retract. Without aggressive treatment the condition worsens sometimes resulting in the need for amputation. I have only seen this occur is older stallions in poor condition.

What is fluphenasol? I believe it is a tranquilizer. I am interested in the effects of tranquilizers in the training of show horses -- good and bad |

The drug I think you are looking for is called fluphenazine. We have some discussions on this drug so do a search with this spelling. We get a lot of requests about this drug, so I will put together an article on this in the next few days.

Susan the article is up » Equine Medications and Nutriceuticals » Sedatives & Anesthetics » Fluphenazine (Prolixin). It is a little technical but has a lot of information.
