  • Title: Anesthetic induction of captive tigers (Panthera tigris) using a medetomidine-ketamine combination.
    Author: Miller M, Weber M, Neiffer D, Mangold B, Fontenot D, Stetter M.
    Journal: J Zoo Wildl Med; 2003 Sep; 34(3):307-8. PubMed ID: 14582797.
    Abstract:
    Six adult female tigers (Panthera tigris) were anesthetized repeatedly for elective medical procedures using 3 mg medetomidine and 200 mg ketamine i.m. Inductions were rapid and smooth, although supplemental ketamine was needed for safe transport after induction in 6 of 17 procedures. Reversal of the medetomidine-induced sedation with 15 mg atipamezole i.m. 59-232 min after induction resulted in smooth, rapid recoveries.
