General anesthesia in rabbits with modeling of arthrosis
In our resume we publish the results of using «Meditin» and «Zoletil-100». We used it as general anesthesia for arthrosis simulation on the rabbit's knee-joints. Rodents, especially rabbits, are the most complicated patients for anesthesiologists. So many foreigner veterinarians prefer to use inhalation narcosis, because they have an opportunity to regulate concentration in patient's blood during operation. But russian veterinarians often use noninhalation narcosis because of 2 preferences: it doesn't require an expensive equipment and animals usually haven't any negative effects during and after operation. We received an optimal dosage for general anesthesia and obtained following results: rapid response, an acceptable level of anesthetic protection. long-term effect, the absence of complications during and after the operation. During the operation we were monitoring the animal's health status for objectively assessing the effectiveness of the action of prepara-tions.The effective scheme for application of medicines for rabbit's narcosis are (all medication are made intramuscular): firstly - «Meditin» 0.16 ml/kg , then, 5 minutes later, «Zoletil-100» 0.05 ml/kg. There were no complications, including respiratory and heart-vascular system.
