Abstract:
A combination of tiletamine/zolazepam, xylazine and butorphanol provides deep surgical, long-duration anaesthesia in guineapigs with a smooth induction and recovery period. The described dosages mainly affect the respiratory functions and blood gas parameters, with a minor-to-moderate effect on the cardiovascular system.
