Dickson Wambura, [28 Aug 2022 at 09:04:31]: Good morning! Is BAM suitable for standing sedation for an elephant (wild animal); if yes at which dose? Henry Labuschagne, [28 Aug 2022 at 11:06:43]: BAM : Butorphanol 30mg + azaperone 12mg + medetomidine 12mg 0.1ml per 100kg. Rob Jackson, [28 Aug 2022 at 13:36:53]: Will that give a safe standing sedation in a wild elephant? I have only used butorphanol /medetomidine in domesticated elephants? Luis Amaral, [28 Aug 2022 at 16:57:35]: Previous correspondence from Dr William Burger. 0.8 to 0.9 ml per ton. 11 years =1.5 ton; 18 year 1.9 ton. I did two and worked well - I used Bamanil, achieved standing sedation. (Bamanil= 30 mg butorphanol +12 azaperone + 12 medetomidine per ml) Peter Rogers, [29 Aug 2022 at 20:04:15]: For standing sedation HABITUATED elephant 0.1 ml / 150 kg works really well.
