Acepromazine, though rarely used in small ruminants, can be administered at 0.05–0.1 mg/kg to produce mild tranquilization [10]. The drug has been used as an alternative for xylazine in goats with urethral obstruction where increased urine output associated with α₂ agonists is contraindicated. Doses from 0.05 to 0.2 mg/kg can be administered IM or IV to produce tranquilization in sheep and goats [11]. In camelids, 0.033 mg/kg has been used to produce some calming effect in a female guanaco for eye examination [12]. However, a dose of up to 0.15 mg/kg was needed to quiet an aggressive male llama prior to induction of anesthesia with halothane [13].
