Lameness of horses is effectively ameliorated with a low volume of mepivacaine administered as a palmar digital nerve block
For a palmar digital nerve block, a lower-than-commonly-recommended volume of 2% mepivacaine effectively ameliorates digital pain. This finding invites investigation as to whether administering a low volume of local anesthetic will more precisely localize pain.
