Exotic marsupials are becoming popular companion pets, yet little pharmacologic information is available to the practitioner. Species include sugar gliders (Petarus breviceps), South American (Brazilian) short-tailed opossums (Monodelphis domestica), brushtail possum or "phalanger" (Trichosurus vulpecula), and wallabies: Bennett's (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) and Tammar or Dama (Macropus eugenii). Guidelines for logical choices of medications based on allometric scaling, gastrointestinal tract anatomy and physiology, and liver metabolism are given. An example of scaling and a formulary based on anecdotal, published medications are provided.
外来有袋动物正成为越来越受欢迎的伴侣宠物,但从业者可获取的药理学信息却很少。这些物种包括蜜袋鼯(Petarus breviceps)、南美(巴西)短尾负鼠(Monodelphis domestica)、帚尾袋貂或“袋狸”(Trichosurus vulpecula)以及小袋鼠:贝内特氏小袋鼠(Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus)和汤玛氏小袋鼠或达马小袋鼠(Macropus eugenii)。文中给出了基于异速生长比例、胃肠道解剖学与生理学以及肝脏代谢来合理选择药物的指导原则。还提供了一个基于传闻及已发表的用药方法的剂量换算示例和处方集。
