BTW Rags is very much enjoying being spoiled and getting all the extra attention. She is still doing great! Eating vigorously, getting the run of the livingroom and so on..

Anesthetic agents
Most anesthetic agents used in human medicine are used in veterinary medicine. Alpha-2 receptor agonist drugs such as xylazine, romifidine, detomidine, and medetomidine, are used frequently in veterinary species (particularly large animal), but are rarely used in people. Guaifenesin is used as a muscle relaxant prior to anesthesia induction in some animals. Propofol is commonly used in small animal anesthesia, however it is rarely used in large animals due to the cost. 'Propoclear' is also commonly used in smaller branches of small animal surgery as it has a longer shelf life once opened than propofol whilst essentially having the same properties. Butorphanol is rarely used in people but is commonly used in all species. Ketamine, used in children for anesthesia, is used extensively in many species to induce anesthesia or cause heavy sedation. Expensive agents, such as etomidate and desflurane are rarely used outside of university hospitals. Different species have different responses to drugs. For example, horses may experience mania with morphine whereas dogs typically become sedated. Rabbits and guinea pigs are well sedated with midazolam, which can occasionally excite dogs and cats.

Rags is very luck to have you!

Thank you.

This is fascinating. I'm glad Rags is doing better. I hope you keep us updated on how she does in the long term.

 

[PAchickenlover]

I sure plan on trying to keep everyone updated. Thanks

To ask most specifically, and knowing that most anesthesia agents mix poorly w/ chickens ... which of these would be more easily obtained, yet still reasonably safe for most folks to administer?
