• Staggering or incoordination may be seen for 3 to 5 minutes after injection until the animal secures their footing.
• Approximately 45 to 60 minutes after treatment, urination usually occurs while the horse is recovering (dependent on dosage).
• Hypertension is seen in animals treated with this medication.
• Bradycardia is normal about one minute post-injection.
• Post-administration, minor muscle tremors, salivation, sweating, and piloerection are often noted.
• Partial short-term prolapse of the penis could occur.
• Partial SA and AV blocks can occur with a decrease in respiratory and heart rate.
