Copyright policy )An evaluation of sedatives and anesthetics in the agouti (Dasyprocta sp).
Seven drugs administered im were evaluated to determine their efficacy in immobilizing captive agoutis. Ketamine HCl (63-83 mg/kg) and phencyclidine HCl (16.5-22.0 mg/kg) produced immobilization and analgesia. Phencyclidine administration was accompanied by numerous side effects and prolonged recovery. Xylazine HCl (3-70 mg/kg) and fentanyl-droperidol (0.28-1.11 ml/kg( produced varying degrees of ataxia and intermittent recumbency. Acetylpromazine, chlorpromazine, and promazine HCl were ineffective. Surgical anesthesia was successfully induced and maintained with halothane.
