[2022/02/09, 10:29:50] Liam Theuns Smit: Hi. Asking on behalf of a non-wildlife vet that doesn't have etorphine or Thianil. He needs to sedate a 4 month old bovine calf. What would work well? [2022/02/09, 10:34:24] David Pretorius: Diazepam? Do you have Diazepam? Medetomidine? Ketamine? IV access? [2022/02/09, 10:35:18] David Pretorius: You can probably give 5mg diazepam IV and wait 5min then knock down with 50-150mg ketamine. [2022/02/09, 10:35:21] Trever Viljoen: Ketamine stun : Medetomidine 2 mg + butorphanol 5 mg + 50 mg ketamine per 100 kg body weight. [2022/02/09, 10:35:51] Liam Theuns Smit: Trevor, iv or im? 2022/02/09, 10:37:50] Liam Theuns Smit: Thanks David and Trever [2022/02/09, 10:43:10] Trever Viljoen: IV works faster ,but can also do im. [2022/02/09, 10:45:11] Liam Theuns Smit: Same dose Trevor? Thanks [2022/02/09, 10:48:10] Trever Viljoen: Yes. [2022/02/09, 12:27:22] Erik Verrynne: Have non-wildlife vets stopped using Rompun in cattle? 0.1 to 0.3mg/kg sc or im. [2022/02/09, 12:28:37] Liam Theuns Smit: Yes, some have, I guess.
