“…Isoflurane in 100% oxygen was used in this case to maintaine general anaesthesia. Although considered a safe anaesthetic agent in avian species, a dose‐dependent decrease in BP has been reported in ducks, cranes and chickens anaesthetised with isoflurane 59 . Therefore, decreasing the dose of inhalant agents during general anaesthesia may be beneficial for preserving the BP.…”

A 6-month-old, male peacock (Pavo cristatus) underwent right-sided corrective tibiotarsal osteotomy under general anaesthesia. Butorphanol (1 mg/kg) and midazolam (1 mg/kg) were administered in the pectoral muscle as pre-anaesthetic medications. Anaesthesia was induced with intravenous alfaxalone (2.5 mg/kg) and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. Intermittent positive-pressure ventilation was applied. A nerve stimulator-guided femoral nerve block and a nerve stimulator-and ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block were performed before surgery with lidocaine. An intravenous bolus of ketamine (1 mg/kg), followed by infusion (20 μg/kg/min) was administered intraoperatively. No nociception was recorded during surgery. This case report describes a successful multimodal analgesic technique in a peacock anaesthetised for orthopaedic surgery.

“…ERG recordings of Hispaniolan Amazon parrots ( Amazona ventralis ) and two species of owl were performed under general anesthesia using isoflurane [ 12 , 25 ], and sevoflurane was used for ERG recording in bald eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) [ 15 ]. While mydriasis was not induced in those studies, isoflurane was known to cause mydriasis in birds [ 18 ], which might be beneficial in retinal illumination when mydriasis is not utilized during ERG recording.…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of mydriasis using topical rocuronium bromide on electroretinography (ERG) in domestic pigeons (Columba livia). Scotopic mixed rod and cone, photopic cone, and photopic flicker ERG were performed on nine eyes of nine healthy adult pigeons under sedation. Each pigeon underwent two sets of ERG recordings. First, without the induction of mydriasis (control) and the second time with the induction of mydriasis using topical rocuronium bromide (treatment). The results were compared using either the Student's t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test, where a P-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. No significant differences were observed in the a-and b-wave implicit times and amplitudes during scotopic ERG between the two groups. The a-and b-wave amplitudes in the photopic cone were significantly higher in the treatment group (63.83 ± 32.33 and 191.75 ± 94.46 µV) compared to the control group (46.15 ± 27.60 and 116.76 ± 70.65 µV; P = 0.045 and P = 0.032, respectively). The photopic flicker amplitude was also significantly higher in the treatment group (76.23 ± 48.56 µV) than in the control group (42.18 ± 31.18 µV; P = 0.044). No statistically significant differences were observed in the photopic cone and flicker implicit times between both groups. In conclusions, mydriasis induced by rocuronium bromide in pigeon resulting in higher amplitudes during the photopic ERG but not scotopic ERG.
