Anaesthesia of the Malayan sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) using tiletamine-zolazepam-xylazine combination
Eight Malayan sun bears (Helarctos malayanus) were immobilised with Zoletil®(x = 3.44 mg/kg) and xylazine (x =0.65 mg/kg). The sun bears were darted intramuscularly by using a blow-pipe at muscular areas such as the rump and shoulder regions. Physiological data were recorded every 10 min throughout...

The sun bears were darted intramuscularly by using a blow-pipe at muscular areas such as the rump and shoulder regions. Physiological data were recorded every 10 min throughout the immobilisation period. No antagonist drug was used. The drug combination was able to induce smooth, rapid and good anaesthesia with analgesia within 11-30 minutes (mean ± S.D.= 21.1 ± 6.44 min). Time from complete immobilisation to recovery (walking) ranged from 157 ± 25.6 min (range = 124 -186 min). No pedal pinch reflex was observed in all animals. The anesthetic depth and analgesia were reasonably adequate to conduct a physical examination and perform minor clinical procedures. There were no significant clinical adverse effects observed except for hypersalivation and frothing during the reversible period.2021-08-12T04:21:58Z2021-08-12T04:21:58Z2010Journal ContributionArticleNon-RefereedJurnal Veterinar Malaysia (Malaysia), 22 (1&2), p. 19-229128-2506http://agris.upm.edu.my:8080/dspace/handle/0/19226MY2021051036enhttps://www.mavma.org.my/2010-volume-22-issue-no-1-2-july-decMalaysiahttp://www.oceandocs.org/license |
