Abstract
Experimental studies were performed on chemical immobilization
on 45 clinically healthy wild animals (15 red foxes, 15 kestrels and 15
African beauty snakes).
In the first experiment (Red foxes), group I (15 foxes) were +ivided
into three subgroups lA, IB and IC each contained 5 foxes. These were
injected intramuscularly with ketamine/xylazine combination in doses of
15mg/kg ketamine + 5mglkg xylazine, 20mg/kg ketamine + 3mg/kg
xylazine and 25mglkg ketamine + l mg/kg xylazine respectively. After
three weeks the same animals were considered as group II and were
divided into three subgroups IIA, lIB and I1C. These were injected
intramuscularly with ketamine hydrochloride alone in doses of 15,20 and
25mg/kg respectively. After another three weeks the same animals were
considered as group III and were divided into three subgroups IlIA, IIIB
and IIIC. These were injected intramuscularly with xylazine
hydrochloride alone in doses of 5, 3 and Irng/kg respectively.
In the second experiment (kestrels), group I (15 kestrels) were
divided into three subgroups lA, IB and IC each contained 5 kestrels.
These were injected intramuscularly with ketamine/xylazine combination
in doses of 15mg/kg ketamine + 2mg/kg xylazine, 25mg/kg ketamine +
1mg/kg xylazine and 40mglkg ketamine + 0.5mglkg xylazine
respectively. After three weeks the same animals were considered as
group II and were divided into three subgroups IIA, lIB and lIe. These
were injected intramuscularly with ketamine hydrochloride in doses of
15, 25 and 40mg/kg respectively. After another three weeks the same
animals were considered as group III and were divided into three
subgroups lIlA, IIIB and IIIC. These were injected intramuscularly with
xylazine hydrochloride in doses of 2, 1 and 0.5mg/kg respectively.
In the third experiment (African beauty snakes), group I (15
snakes) were divided into three subgroups lA, IB and IC each contained 5
snakes. These were injected intramuscularly with ketamine/xylazine
combination in doses of20mg/kg ketamine + 2mg/kg xylazine, 35mg/kg
ketamine + 1mg/kg xylazine and 50mg/kg ketamine + 0.5mg/kg xylazine
respectively. After three weeks the same animals were considered as
group II and were divided into three subgroups IIA, lIB and Il’C. These
were injected intramuscularly with ketamine hydrochloride in doses of
20, 35 and 50mg/kg respectively. After another three weeks the same
animals were considered as group III and were divided into three
subgroups IlIA, I1IB and IIIC. These were injected intramuscularly with
xylazine hydrochloride in doses of 2, 1 and 0.5mg/kg respectively.
