Ketamine hydrochloride (KH) and a 5:1 combination of KH and xylazine hydrochloride (XH) were used successfully to immobilize short-tailed weasels (Mustela erminea) and American martens (Martes americana), respectively. Four adult male martens were intramuscularly injected with 30 to 82 mg/kg KH and 8.0 to 16.4 mg/kg XH. Three adult male short-tailed weasels were intramuscularly injected with 20.8 to 42.1 mg/kg KH. Mean (+/- SE) induction times for martens and short-tailed weasels were 1.8 +/- 0.2 min and 46 +/- 4.1 sec, respectively; recovery times were 100.4 +/- 19.3 min and 97.9 +/- 6.3 min, respectively. Heart rate was relatively constant among martens; however, respiration varied widely (21 to 122 breaths per minute). Marten body temperature decreased between 0 and 20 min post-recumbency. Short-tailed weasel heart rate and respiration decreased in response to sedation until slightly before arousal. Body temperature stabilized by 20 min post-recumbency. Two short-tailed weasels tremored slightly within 10 min of arousal. I conclude that KH and KH/XH are safe immobilizing agents for martens and short-tailed weasels, respectively.
盐酸氯胺酮（KH）以及KH与盐酸赛拉嗪（XH）按5:1比例混合的药剂，分别成功用于固定短尾鼬（伶鼬）和美洲貂。对4只成年雄性美洲貂进行肌肉注射，剂量为30至82毫克/千克KH和8.0至16.4毫克/千克XH。对3只成年雄性短尾鼬进行肌肉注射，剂量为20.8至42.1毫克/千克KH。美洲貂和短尾鼬的平均（±标准误）诱导时间分别为1.8±0.2分钟和46±4.1秒；恢复时间分别为100.4±19.3分钟和97.9±6.3分钟。美洲貂的心率相对恒定；然而，呼吸变化很大（每分钟21至122次呼吸）。美洲貂的体温在躺卧后0至20分钟内下降。短尾鼬的心率和呼吸在镇静时下降，直到苏醒前略有下降。躺卧后20分钟体温稳定。两只短尾鼬在苏醒后10分钟内略有颤抖。我的结论是，KH和KH/XH分别是用于美洲貂和短尾鼬的安全固定剂。
