“…). Effective doses of the KX used in wolves here were same as those recommended for wolves in captivity (Larsen & Kreeger ). The dosage used provided good muscular relaxation and sufficient analgesia for management procedures with adequate handling time and acceptable recovery time in all three species.…”

“…We believe that the hyperthermia that was initially documented in all dholes and jackals was due to the animal's state of excitation at the time of darting. Most canids dissipate heat through panting, but this is often compromised during immobilisation (Larsen & Kreeger ). Additionally, canids immobilised with KX have been frequently observed to have poor thermoregulatory ability (Fuller & Kuehn ; Larsen & Kreeger ).…”

As there was no holding house for dholes and jackals, they had to be darted in a large open enclosure.…”

“…Prolonged and rough recoveries have been reported as disadvantages of KX immobilisation in canids due to residual ketamine effects. Consequently, reversal of xylazine and other α ‐2 adrenergic agents with administration of antagonists is not advised until 45 min after the last injection of ketamine (Larsen & Kreeger ). Adherence to this recommendation minimises the odds of rigidity, excitement and other adverse residual ketamine‐related signs during recovery.…”

Maintaining wild animals in captivity often requires chemical immobilisation to achieve various diagnostic, surgical and management interventions. Four dholes, two Indian grey wolves and four Indian jackals were immobilised using ketamine–xylazine combination for either medical or management interventions. Based on the estimated body weight, canids were darted upon with 6–8 mg kg−1 ketamine and 0.7–1.14 mg kg−1 xylazine. Initial signs of drug effect included decreased mentation and progressive ataxia followed by recumbency. The mean ± SD of induction time was 14.25 ± 2.75 (range: 11–17 min), 11 ± 3.16 (range: 8–15 min) and 15.5 ± 3.54 (range: 13–18 min) in dhole, Indian jackal and Indian wolf, respectively. Hyperthermia was initially observed in all the jackals and dholes, whereas rectal temperature in wolves remained well within the normal range for canids. The mean duration of anaesthesia was 31 ± 8.83 (range: 23–43 min), 32.5 ± 5.32 (range: 26–39 min) and 30.5 ± 7.78 (range: 25–36 min) in dhole, Indian jackal and Indian wolf, respectively, with subsequent smooth and uneventful recovery in all the cases. The observations made during immobilisation procedures in this work suggest that chemical immobilisation of captive dhole, Indian wolf and Indian jackal with 6–8 mg kg−1 ketamine and 1 mg kg−1 xylazine is effective and safe for routine management and medical interventions in these species provided body temperature is closely monitored and corrected as appropriate.

“…The anesthetic protocol was as follows: sedation and analgesia, ketamine (8 mg/kg, IM), midazolam (0.3 mg/kg, IM), and meperidine (5 mg/kg, IM); induction, propofol (5 mg/kg, IV); maintenance, inalatory isoflurane and oxygen. Lactated Ringer's solution (10 mL/kg IV) was administered throughout anesthesia [ 5 ]. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapy was administered preoperatively and for five days postoperatively.…”

The purpose of this case report is to describe the diagnosis and treatment of unerupted canine teeth in a maned wolf. After physical examination, complete blood count, and serum biochemical profile, the animal underwent general anesthesia and head radiography was performed to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment consisted of the extraction of both maxillary canine teeth and clinical and radiographic follow-up of the right mandibular canine tooth.
