Horace Edward Dobbs was part of the team that discovered etorphine, an opiate. This opiate was used to develop a veterinary drug called Immobilon, which is an analgesic used to sedate animals. The development of Immobilon revolutionised veterinary medicine and it is still used today to sedate large wild animals. Immobilon has been credited with saving animals a lot of distress when they need veterinary attention. This is because the animals do not need to be constrained. For example, when a stallion is being castrated or an elephant is receiving veterinary treatment, a dart injection of just 2–4 mg could knock it out. See Effect of Cyprenorphine by Dr. Horace Dobbs.
