We do not sedate our Icelandics, they stand, very paitently....the
vet was surprised how good they were, and since he did not have to
sedate and wait, he actually saved time, and I saved the sedation
costs, and my worry.....he was worried if they were not sedated it
would be a rodeo and he would waste time.....
