Hello Raven,
Last year my pregnant mare Von had a puncture wound right after I got
her. She was on nexcel for 10 days. It is in the cephalosprin family and I
would assume very painful. In humans Rocephin is its cousin. If you or your
family has ever had this IM you know it is painful. We usuallly put a little
lidocaine in it for humans so it is not so painful. I don't know if you can
do this with horses or not.
