The local anaesthesia used during the dehorning of goats is described. The authors recommend general anaesthesia for the disbudding (dehorning) of kids. In addition to the dehorning of goats and kids, this article also describes the use of the combination of xylazine, ketamine, and atropine, and the preparation of this 'goat anaesthetic'.
