Dr.O,
Is there any IM sedative that can be safely given to the very resistant horse? My 3 year old apparently had a bad clipper experience before I got him. I have tried running the clippers around him, next to him and all the slow stuff, but he acts scared to death of them.

Almost all the sedatives discussed here and at Equine Medications and Nutriceuticals ยป Sedatives & Anesthetics can be given IM Marti, and some by mouth. See the articles in the sedative section for complete information.
