Abstract

The present study was done to get a standard dose of xylazine/ketamine with minimum recovery time. Ten healthy red pandas were anesthetized for the blood collection for their blood biochemistry and hematological studies at the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park, Darjeeling. The animals were administered with xylazine/ketamine according to their body weight and recovery time was calculated. We found that immobilization was successful with a low dose of ketamine which was found very low as compared to other authors. The lower anesthetic dose was effective in young animals but there was no relation between age and recovery time. Based on the findings of the present study we can conclude that red pandas between 4-7 kg body weight could be easily immobile with the dose of xylazine/ketamine between 2-5 mg/kg and can be recovered in 25 minutes. The conclusion is completely based on the study of the captive-bred red pandas in the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park. The results of this study may vary from other zoos due to geographical and regional differences.

印度西孟加拉邦大吉岭Padmaja Naidu喜马拉雅动物园圈养小熊猫固定麻醉剂量标准化

本研究的目的是在最短的恢复时间内获得标准剂量的噻嗪/氯胺酮。在大吉岭Padmaja Naidu喜马拉雅动物园，对10只健康小熊猫进行麻醉取血，进行血液生化和血流变学研究。根据大鼠体重给予噻嗪/氯胺酮治疗，计算恢复时间。我们发现固定是成功的低剂量氯胺酮相比其他作者发现非常低。小剂量麻醉对幼龄动物有效，但与年龄和恢复时间无关。根据本研究结果，体重在4-7 kg之间的小熊猫在2-5 mg/kg的氯胺酮剂量下可以很容易地静止不动，并在25分钟内恢复。这一结论完全是基于对帕德玛加奈杜喜马拉雅动物园圈养小熊猫的研究得出的。由于地理和地区的差异，本研究的结果可能与其他动物园有所不同。
