⁸Drugs used for sedation

[jot]

Does anyone know which drugs could be used to sedate a sheep, possibly using a dart gun??
Thanks

No sheep can be that wild surely

 

[jot]

If i say it is a tup will that explain it !?

How much is it worth?

What does the Vet suggest? You don't want to use something that might be lethal to you if it goes wrong!

 

[goodevans]

The nearest market would be the best solution with a one way ticket,no animal is worth broken knees

 

[jot]

I completely agree.....and im not intending to take this action......i am just interested in finding out what drugs could be used by a farmer?

None I reckon..... all would be veterinary use only.

Ok, thanx

Intra cerebral lead at high velocity will sedate very quick but no known antidote!

So you’re not looking for something to cut your ‘Special K’ (ketamine) with then?

 

[jot]

Lol....aim would be to catch, not kill though

 

[mo!]

We looked into this when we had a steer that was wild and we wanted to bring it in. The cost of doing it legally would outweigh the value of the sheep unless it is some fancy ram.

Thank you

Even if you do knock him out what are you going to do with it? Sounds like a bit of a bartsteward so I don't think you'll be selling him but at the same time he somehow seems to valuable enough to drug...... if you explain the situation a little more comprehensively I'm sure members will be helpful.

Its a bit complicated....i have a sheep that has been killed.....im trying to find out what drugs a farmer could obtain/use in order to try and sedate it. Sorry if im a bit vague

 

[goodevans]

I dont think there are any known drugs that will bring it back to life,are you sure it's a sheep you want to sedate,good first post from you

 

[goodevans]

So what you mean is somebody has murdered your tup? you think

 

[primmiemoo]

If that's the case, it's a police matter. All sorts of no-nos and potential illegalities in the scenario!

What makes anybody think a farmer would be a perpetrator, either?
