Answer to Question 1

Rinsing out the mouth removes pieces of feed and debris that could be aspirated or forced into
the trachea during intubation.

Answer to Question 2

To prepare a horse for heavy sedation, withdraw food and water, perform required
bloodwork, rinse mouth with water, estimate weight, and place a jugular catheter.
