Withholding Feed for Sedation
Pull all feed from your horse ONE HOUR prior to procedures requiring sedation. Studies have investigated risks and benefits of feed withholding for various durations of time and of sedation in horses that have and have not been fasted. To mitigate the risks and enhance the benefits for your horse, we ask that all our patients be held off of feed ONE HOUR prior to sedation for a known procedure. The risks and benefits are different in emergency cases, but we have control regarding pre-planned procedures (such as dental procedures) and are going to use that to your horse’s advantage!
