| Abstract |
|
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether rocuronium would provide short-term, safe immobilization to facilitate intubation in Trachemys scripta ssp. Twelve red eared terrapins, weighing an average 0.63 kg±0.27 g were subjected to two protocols. One group received 0.25 mg/kg rocuronium, administered IM, while the other group received 0.5 mg/kg IM. Responses to the drugs were evaluated every 5 minutes. No evidence of neuromuscular blockade was observed in the case of the lowest dose group, while the other dose proved effective. All animals recovered after 65.5±14.2 minutes. Administration of 0.5 mg/kg rocuronium provides an effective method for endotracheal intubation in red eared terrapin.
