I was at my vet with GB having his teeth done. It was very hard on him and I had to stay a long time til he came around enough to where I could haul him home. A mare came in and was given ultrasound, the shot, and afterward the owner and I walked the field together and her mare was just as out of it as GB. Do you think she was given something for pain? Sedated? It took her as long as GB to come around enough to travel. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
