Bart Gazendam, [24 Sep 2022 at 10:40:01]: Hi all, have to dart a YOUNG HEIFER COW (cattle cow), any suggestions? David Pretorius, [24 Sep 2022 at 10:40:48]: Thianil 1mg, medetomidine 6mg, azaperone 20mg Hendrik Hansen, [24 Sep 2022 at 11:00:02]: Thianil 0.5mg, medetomidine 6mg, azaperone 20mg Hendrik Hansen, [24 Sep 2022 at 11:34:07]: Yes Bart, they need higher dosages than buffalo Bart Gazendam, [24 Sep 2022 at 15:51:19]: Managed with 1mg Thianil, 4mg medetomidine and 20mg azaperone, as I wanted it down a little quicker down because of the heat! Was probably 200-250kgs 😊👍🏼 Gernot Redeker, [26 Sep 2022 at 13:45:57]: Try medetomidine 1mg/50kg and butorphanol 1mg/25kg on the heifer. Works vey well for me. Reverse with Revazole/Yohimbine 50/50 iv/im. Heather Nixon, [26 Sep 2022 at 15:08:26]: Will it work on a WILD ANKOLE BULL? Can I add Thianil to reduce medetomidine dose or just Thianil? Hendrik Hansen, [26 Sep 2022 at 15:21:23]: Wild Ankole bull Thianil 0.5mg + medetomidine 8mg + azaperone 30mg Heather Nixon, [26 Sep 2022 at 18:01:15]: Thank you that helps a lot! If I cant fit all azaperone in my 2cc dart, is that still ok? Hendrik Hansen, [26 Sep 2022 at 18:08:01]: Will go down without the azaperone but will take slightly longer Heather Nixon, [26 Sep 2022 at 18:12:14]: Thanks so much. Sorry for being really poor now, but how much yohimbine mix would you reverse with? Henry Labuschagne, [27 Sep 2022 at 18:43:33]: On 8mg medetomidine I reverse with 2ml yohimbine/atipamezole mix = 4mg Atipamezole and 20mg Atipamezole. ( 3mg atipamezole : 1mg medetomidine ) Do not use dip with Amitras when using medetomidine.
