🐋 Sedating beluga whales safely with midazolam and butorphanol🐋 A recent study explored the use of midazolam and butorphanol for safely sedating beluga whales during minor procedures like bronchoscopy and tooth extraction. The study, involving six captive belugas, found that optimal sedation doses varied by age, with older whales requiring lower doses. This research provides valuable insights into safer sedation practices, helping to minimise the risk of side effects during veterinary care. Both midazolam and butorphanol are available from Wildlife Pharmaceuticals. Visit our products page at https://buff.ly/4cskEBc or contact us at vetsupplies@wildpharm.co.za for more information!

📚 Chapter 77: The Use of Butorphanol in Anesthesia Protocols for Zoo and Wild Mammals 📚 In Zoo Animal and Wildlife Immobilization and Anaesthesia (2007), Chapter 77 on butorphanol highlights its key role in anaesthesia protocols for zoo and wild mammals. As an opioid agonist-antagonist, butorphanol provides veterinarians with better control and safety when immobilising animals, ensuring smoother and more effective sedation for various species. 🔗 Link to chapter: https://buff.ly/4gkkhvx #Wildlife #Veterinary #Conservation #VetMeds #Anaesthesia

Rhinos were among the first species to be successfully immobilised with potent opioids back in the 1960s, a practice that has since become standard for capturing and handling these magnificent giants. But their sheer size poses a unique challenge: how do you move an immobilised rhino into a relocation trailer, especially in rough terrain? This is where opioid agonist-antagonists like butorphanol play a crucial role. By partially reversing immobilisation, these medications keep the rhino sedated but alert enough to be safely guided on foot to its destination. #Wildlife #Veterinary #Conservation #VetMeds #Anaesthesia

🦏 New study highlights butorphanol's positive effects in immobilised white rhino 🦏 A recent peer-reviewed study explored the effect of butorphanol on white rhinos immobilised with etorphine-azaperone. While the etorphine-azaperone combination caused significant respiratory complications like hypoxemia and hypercapnia, butorphanol effectively improved oxygen & carbon dioxide levels in the rhinos' blood. It also reduced oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, assisting in stabilising their respiratory function. This research is crucial for wildlife veterinarians: it provides practical, actionable insights that can enhance the care of these magnificent creatures!
