Inmobilization of the endangered Ibeerian lynx with xylazine-hydrochloride and ketamine-hydrochloride

A combination of the dissociative anesthetic ketamine hydrochloride (KH) and the sedative xylazine hydrochloride (XH) was used to immobilize 31 Wild Iberian lynx (Fells pardina) 45 times at Doflana National Park, Spain. A mean (±SE) dose of 4.6 (±0.2) mg/kg KH and 4.0 (±0.2) mg/kg XH resulted in mea...

Descrição
Resumo:A combination of the dissociative anesthetic ketamine hydrochloride (KH) and the sedative xylazine hydrochloride (XH) was used to immobilize 31 Wild Iberian lynx (Fells pardina) 45 times at Doflana National Park, Spain. A mean (±SE) dose of 4.6 (±0.2) mg/kg KH and 4.0 (±0.2) mg/kg XH resulted in mean (± SE) induction time of 5.6 (±0.3) mm and mean (± SE) first reaction time of 59.3 (±6.5) mm. Convulsions occurred four times (9%), but with no noteworthy consequences.
