Persistent penile prolapse associated with acute blood loss and acepromazine maleate administration in a horse.

摘要

A 5-year-old gelding was admitted for treatment of prolonged penile prolapse of 12 days' duration that developed after acepromazine maleate administration (2 doses of 20 mg, i.v., on consecutive days) to allow examination of a laceration that had resulted in severe blood loss. The horse was sedated, and the penis replaced in the preputial cavity by use of a combination of massage and bandaging. Treatment was successful, and recovery complete within 3 months.
