Default Drug Screen?

If they used Lidocaine or tranquilized him for the chin staples, won't he have to be scratched? How do you staple a race horse's chin without Lidocaine? I can see maybe getting the first staple in, but I'm guessing things would be getting a bit dicey by the the third one...... Most horses are pretty protective of their head and mouth.

If I had to guess, they probably used a local type thing. But I am no vet. Mumtaz will know the answer on how they do something like this.....
