| Sumario: | A combination of 100 mg/mi of ketamine hydrochloride (Ket) and 20 mg/mi of xyiazine hydrochloride (Xyi) was used to im mobilize coypus (Myocastor coypus). Eight ma ture coypus (four males and four femaies) were injected intramuscularly with doses ranging from 2.33 to 6.25 mg/kg of KET and 0.25 to 0.86 mg/kg of Xyl. The mean (±SE) time for in duction, arousal, and recovery were 7.3 ± 2 mm, 23.5 ± 0.3 mm and 46 ± 2.5 mm, respectively. The mean ± SE doses injected were 4.07 ± 0.52 mg/kg Ket (range, 2.33 to 6.25 mg/kg) and 0.5 ± 0.08 mg/kg Xyl (range, 0.25 to 0.86 mg/kg). No adverse responses were observed in any of the animals treated. |
