    COMPARISON OF XYLAZINE AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE AS PREANESTHETICS ON ZOLAZEPAM – TILETAMINE ANESTHESIA IN SLOTH BEARS (Melursus ursinus)
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR – 585 401, 2017-12) ANITHA, M. M.; Dr. L. RANGANATH
    The study was undertaken to compare Xylazine and Dexmedetomidine as preanesthetics on Zolazepam + Tiletamine anesthesia in twelve captive sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) at Wildlife SOS, Bannerghatta Bear Rescue Center, Bengaluru. The bears were randomly divided into two groups of six each. Group A sloth bears were immobilized with Xylazine (1.33 mg/kg) and Zolazepam + Tiletamine (2 mg/kg) i.m. and Group B sloth bears were immobilized with Dexmedetomidine (6 µg/kg) and Zolazepam + Tiletamine (2 mg/kg) i.m. using blow pipe and dart. The induction time was 10.50 ± 0.43 minutes in Group A and 8.50 ± 0.43 minutes in Group B. Anesthetic induction and recovery was smooth and more predictable with good muscle relaxation in Group B bears. Duration of anesthesia was longer (64.00 ± 2.07 minutes) with recovery time of (66.17 ± 10.27 minutes) in Group B as compared to Group A where the duration of anesthesia was short (41.67 ± 1.06 minutes) with a recovery time of (57.17 ± 2.21 minutes) with adverse effects of salivation, retching and sometimes vomition during induction and recovery period. In conclusion, DexMZT combination was found to be superior as compared to the XZT because of its faster and smoother induction, longer maintenance period and absence of adverse effects. Key words : Sloth bears, anesthesia and recovery.
