The restraint of the Cape Hunting dog Lycaon pictus with phencyclidine hydrochloride and ketamine hydrochloride.

Phencyclidine HCl and ketamine HCl were used as immobilizing agents on six captive Cape Hunting dogs. Both drugs were suitable and three dogs immobilized with ketamine HCl at a dosage rate of 7 mg/kg had smoother and shorter recovery periods than the three animals immobilized with phencyclidine HCl.
