Effect of Intranasal Midazolam–Butorphanol Premedication on Sevoflurane Anaesthesia in Traumatised Buzzards (Buteo spp.)

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Intranasal midazolam–butorphanol premedication in traumatised buzzards (Buteo spp.) aims to provide safer sedation by minimising mask induction stress. This method significantly reduces sevoflurane requirements while maintaining stable cardiopulmonary parameters. It is a safe and practical alternative that enhances patient welfare and induction quality.
