Injectable anaesthetic techniques in 2 species of gerbil (Meriones libycus and Meriones unguiculatus). 1983

P A Flecknell, and M John, and M Mitchell, and C Shurey

The effects of a range of injectable anaesthetic agents were assessed in two species of gerbil (M. libycus and M. unguiculatus). The drug combination of metomidate and fentanyl was the only preparation that consistently produced surgical anaesthesia. Considerable species variation in drug response was noted, indicating that caution should be exercised in recommending standard anaesthetic dose rates for these animals.
