A new drug mix called tranq has caught the attention of law enforcement. The drug, which is a mix of an animal sedative and fentanyl, can have disturbing and sometimes deadly consequences for people, and there are concerns that if the drug mix keeps being used on streets, animal clinics could have a tough time getting an animal tranquilizer they use in a responsible manner.
"The passion for the horse became the passion for veterinary medicine," Dr. Vidal with Cave Creek Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery said.Dr. Rachel Liepman is also on staff.The clinic typically sees about 5 to 10 horses a day. They weigh anywhere from about 1,000 to 2,000 lbs. In order to perform routine medical procedures, the doctors rely on xylazine. It is an FDA approved sedative for veterinary use only.
"It’s a very common drug that we use every day for light sedation in the horse," Dr. Liepman said. "It’s good in combination with other medications to really provide a good plan of not only sedation but also pain relief."The drug is great for horses, but horrible for humans. Combined with fentanyl, it is a double dose of danger.
The deadly drug mix known as tranq or tranq dope is being called an emerging drug threat. Law enforcement agents are pushing to have it labeled as a controlled substance. "If the drug is controlled, we have to go through some extra mechanisms to be able to make sure we account for every milliliter we use," Dr. Vidal said.
