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...
