What was studied
The report describes immobilization of nine animals from three species. Vezotil® was used with medetomidine; the protocol was selected according to species and procedure.
Observations
- The drug was used for hoof care, examination, and diagnostic procedures.
- Investigators did not report any new, previously unknown adverse effects in this case series.
Limits of the data
The report describes nine animals from three species, so an overall success percentage for other species cannot be calculated. A separate journal article lists four, rather than five, markhor goats; each page follows its own source.
