Abstract
Summary The effect of combinations of nalbuphine (0.3 mg/kg) with either detomidine (10 μg/kg) or acepromazine (50 μg/kg) was investigated in ponies. Nalbuphine enhanced the degree of sedation produced by both sedatives; sedation with detomidine and nalbuphine was profound. Cardiovascular and respiratory effects were mild and could usually be attributed to the effect of the sedative itself. Side effects were minimal and gave no cause for concern. It was concluded that nalbuphine, in combination with acepromazine or detomidine, is a safe and effective sedative for use in ponies.
