Team is split between pre med with buprecare and sedator, induction with alfaxan or triple (buprecare+sedator+ketamine). Maintenance in both cases with sevo.

This means that outward illness is hidden so even a young outwardly healthy rabbit may have some serious issues.</p> <p>I have used lots of protocols and spoken to countless people all over the world at conferences and through emails.</p> <p>So triple gives good anaesthesia, I use low dose triple to sedate and then servo induction. Or methadone with servo induction.</p> <p>Alfaxalone is licensed but watch for the apnoea. If tubing then its not so m much of a problem.</p> <p>When I first started doing exotics I spent countless hours on VIN looking for peoples preferences. In The US I got the impression that they doint like to inject much in the way of cardio depressive drugs at all so go for opioids and gas.</p> <p>Make sure you are giving fluids</p> <p></p> <p>A bit nebulous but hope that gets you started. Sorry for the late reply for some reason there wasn&#39;t a reply option earlier</p> <p></p> <p>Mark</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
