Medetomidine-ketamine-remote anaesthesia of Eurasian lynx _(Lynx lynx Linn‚, 1758)_ and its effects on anaesthetic depth, respiration, circulation and metabolism
2002 Conference Proceeding
A modern anaesthesia and immobilisation procedure was developed for the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx). Data supported by statistical analysis of a comprehensive anaesthesia monitoring are presented for the first time for this feline species. In order to avoid undue harm to the 17 subjects, non or minimally invasive monitoring techniques were used, which are suitable for use both in clinical environment and under field conditions. Based on observations of reflex activity, pain sensitivity, muscle relaxation, respiratory, circulatory and metabolic functions, the clinical suitability and veterinary practicability of the medetomidine/ketamine anaesthesia were demonstrated.
