Two weeks ago, Dr. ... by Editorial Board

Until recently, for their own safety and to alleviate the suffering of the animals, trained wildlife rescue volunteers were allowed to administer xylazine, a veterinary anesthetic. Xylazine subdues an injured deer so it can be moved for treatment or to be humanely euthanized. But xylazine, which has the street name “tranq,” is also popular with drug dealers, who mix it with opioids, such ... by Editorial Board
