Interesting, as we have had 2 Icelandics gelded this past year, 1 was
2 and 1/2 the other was 7 months......both of them were really out of
it for an hour and a half after the procedure....it seemed a little
long to me, and on the 7 month old I could tell the vet seemed a
little concerned that he was very out, if I could tell he was a
little concerned he probably was Very concerned. I have to geld my
colt this year and I will ask if the vet will use a little less
because of the breed.....
