Injectable Anesthesia for Mice: Combined Effects of Dexmedetomidine, Tiletamine-Zolazepam, and Butorphanol
Table 4
Recommended dosages of dexmedetomidine, tiletamine-zolazepam, and butorphanol. Dosages recommended for use were determined based on anesthetic duration, induction, and recovery time, as well as safety, as measured by mortality. Increased dosages of dexmedetomidine and tiletamine-zolazepam resulted in an increasing trend of anesthetic duration and recovery times. Dexmedetomidine and tiletamine-zolazepam were administered IP and butorphanol was administered in all above listed trials at 3 mg/kg SC. Data are reported in predicted marginal means and standard error.
