Venipuncture sites in armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus)
Abstract:
Several venipuncture sites were evaluated in nine-banded armadillos. Included were the jugular, subclavian, cephalic, saphenous, and ventral tail veins, as well as cardiac puncture. Animals were anesthetized with 25 mg/kg ketamine hydrochloride prior to sampling. All sites yielded adequate blood volumes for hematology and serum chemistry studies.
