What is the cornual block used for
Dehorning
In cattle <1yr , where do you inject for a cornual block
Halfway between lateral canthus of eye and horn base, just underneath the frontal ridge
What is typically injected in cornual block and what is the technique
5-10mL lidocaine, fanned along the underside of the frontal ridge
In cattle >1yr what must you do for the cornual block
Need two injections
1. All cattle get injection between lateral canthus and horn base
2. Cattle >1yr get an additional ring block on caudal side of horn
How long does it take cornual block to take effect
3-5 minutes
What are the injections needed for a cornual block on a goat
- Injection between lateral canthus and base of horn (same as cattle)
- Additional block to get infratrochlear nerve- inject between medial canthus and medial horn base
What additional nerve needs to be blocked when performing a cornual block on goats of all ages
