The procedure shown is digit amputation under intravenous regional anaesthesia. Flunixin meglumine (or other NSAID) is injected intravenously before surgery. A robust tourniquet is placed below the hock and 30–40 mL of 2% lidocaine solution is injected into the superficial vein running on the cranio - lateral aspect of the third metatarsal bone (butterfly catheter shown in situ). Analgesia is effective within 2 minutes.

If infection in the deep flexor tendon sheath has extended above the amputation site, 10–15 cm of flexor tendon can be removed to effect drainage.

<p>1. The 2% lidocaine is not licensed in farm animals any more in the UK. In the UK, it should be 2% procaine solution.</p>
