Abstract
Benzodiazepines are used in veterinary medicine because of their taming, sedative and skeletal muscle-relaxant effects. The pharmacological properties of benzodiazepines in animals are very species-specific, particularly the reaction of the animal and the duration of action. The effects in ruminants, pigs, dogs and cats are discussed.
