The immobilization of wapiti with etorphine hydrochloride

RA Magonigle, EH Stauber, and HW Vaughn


ABSTRACT

Data and observations on the use of Etorphine hydrochloride (M99) (in combination with Acepromazine) and its antagonist M50-50 for immobilization of captive elk (Cervus elaphus canadensis) are presented. The study period covers 3 years during which 8 adult elk were immobilized 52 times with M99. The average dose of M99 administered for each immobilization was 2.2 mg per 100 kg body weight. Reversal with M50-50 was effected by an average dose of 4.4 mg per 100 body weight. Induction averaged 5.9 minutes while reversal took an average of 4.6 minutes.
