Summary

Twenty-eight laparotomies on ponies have been carried out under general anaesthesia. Sodium pentobarbitone appeared to be a safer anaesthetic for major surgical procedures than either intra venous chloral hydrate or the combination of sodium thiopentone intravenously followed by the inhalation of either.

The technique of anaesthetisation with sodium pentobarbitone has been described.
