H. Jalanka

Abstract

Medetomidine, medetomidine-ketamine combinations and/or atipamezole were used during 240 immobilizations of 32 non-domestic animal species. Medetomidine-ketamine induced reliable immobilization with good physiological quality in a variety of species. Atipamezole was effective in reversing the medetomidine, medetomidine-ketamine or xylazine induced immobilization.
