ANESTHESIA, SEDATION AND CHEMICAL RESTRAINT IN WILD AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS

CHARLES E. SHORT 1

1 School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65201

Our experiences and the results of other investigators indicate three principal problems in restraint, anesthesia and sedation of wild animals.

1. The wild animal is more prone to excitement and is under great physiological and psychological stress at the time of induction, resulting in great anesthetic risk.

2. Due to the natures of wild animals, prenaesthetic evaluation and routine administration of medications cannot be accomplished.

3. Due to animal, equipment and facility problems, many of the advances in inhalation anesthesia have not been utilized in wild animals.
