To assess the suitability of the combination of zolazepam and tiletamine for routine use as chemical restraint, sedative and anaesthetic in wild wombats.
Sixty common wombats, 25 southern hairy-nosed wombats and 40 northern hairy-nosed wombats.
Wombats caught in cage-traps in the wild were given injections of the anaesthetic combination either intramuscularly or intraperitoneally. Anaesthesia was maintained for up to 4 h in some cases, and for 12 h in one case. All wombats were released after anaesthesia.
This drug combination is effective and apparently safe for the sedation or light anaesthesia of wombats. We did not observe adverse reactions or deaths and the dose range used (4 to 15 mg/kg) demonstrates a wide safety margin. The use of this anaesthetic combination was effective in reducing the stress to wombats from capture and handling.
评估唑拉西泮和替来他明联合用药作为化学保定剂、镇静剂和麻醉剂在野生袋熊常规使用中的适用性。
60只普通袋熊、25只南方毛鼻袋熊和40只北方毛鼻袋熊。
将在野外捕兽笼中捕获的袋熊通过肌肉注射或腹腔注射给予麻醉合剂。在某些情况下，麻醉维持长达4小时，在1例中维持了12小时。所有袋熊在麻醉后均被放归。
这种药物组合对袋熊的镇静或浅麻醉有效且显然安全。我们未观察到不良反应或死亡情况，所使用的剂量范围（4至15毫克/千克）显示出较宽的安全边际。使用这种麻醉合剂可有效减轻捕获和处理袋熊时对其造成的应激。
