摘要: Twenty adult, free-ranging, female Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) were immobilized with medetomidine-ketamine from 30 September through 9 October 1999 at Svalbard, Norway (78°55'N, 11°56'E). The animals approached on foot, and the drugs administered into heavy muscles of shoulder or thigh by dart syringe injection 15–25 m. mean (SD) induction time in 10 0.113 (0.009) mg/kg medetomidine 2.26 (0.19) ketamine (group 2) was significantly shorter (P<0.05) than 0.215 (0.043) 1.08 (0.21) 1): 6.5 (3.2) versus 14.3 (10.6) min, respectively. Inductions calm, major clinical side effects not detected, there no significant differences between groups regarding rectal temperature, pulse rate, respiratory relative arterial oxygen saturation. 5 mg atipamezole/1 given half intramuscularly ...
