Sloth bear immobilization with a ketamine-xylazine combination: Reversal with yohimbine
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1986SUMMARY Five captive sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) were immobilized with a combination of ketamine (5.80 to 9.75 mg/kg of body weight) and xylazine (1.40 to 2.44 mg/kg), given im.
