Yes, blood stop product with benzocaine. I personally have used 5% proparacaine ophthalmic solution in a few birds and none of them died, lol. Guess maybe we should start a new thread about caine toxicity?

I have never seen it without. Not saying that it doesn't exist, just that I haven't seen any that's sold for animals that didn't have it.

There is aqueous penicillin G that is used in humans and given intravenously, but you can't get it for veterinary use.

That makes sense... no need for procaine in a medicine that's given IV, right? All I have ever seen is the stuff that the feed stores and vets sell, it's all had procaine. I don't know Jack about the human stuff, lol, that's your area of expertize!
