Exotic anaesthesia
- pre-anaesthetic care
- accurate weight, HR and
rhythm, RR, temp, blood
pressure
- advisable to warm reptiles in a
bath or vive before exam
- blood tests
- PCV and total protein to
assess hydration and
circulating blood volume
- Blood urea (mammals) or
uric acid (reptiles and
birds) to assess wast
product metabolism
- Glucose- assess
nutritional status
IMPROTENT for ferrets
- PCV and total protein to
assess hydration and
circulating blood volume
- Fasting
- small mammals that cant
vomit 0,5-1 hours so mouth is
empty
- mammals that can vomit
depends on animal but
for ferrets 2-4 hours
- Birds- <100g 30 mins to ensure
crop is empty, 100-300g 1 hour,
>300g 8-10 hours. birds of prey 12 hours and cast produced
- Reptiles- insectivores 24 hours, snakes 2
days as this reduces pressure on heart
and lungs, chelonians 0,5-1 hour
- small mammals that cant
vomit 0,5-1 hours so mouth is
empty
- accurate weight, HR and
rhythm, RR, temp, blood
pressure
- analgesia
- should be used pre-emptively before wind-up
- birds have high number of kappa receptors, therefore butorphenol
is better then butrenorphine, however some birds vary as not as
effective in amazone parrots
- should be used pre-emptively before wind-up
- pre-medication
- mostly the same options as for
normal patients
- anticholinergic drugs
- atropine and glycopyrrolate
- used in pre-meds to reduce
respiratory secretions from
gaseous agents (common in g.pigs)
- may be used in reptiles to help prevent intracardiac
shunting and protect the heart from vagal inhibitions and
bradycardia
- rabbits and rats have hepatic
atropinesterase so glycopyroolate
should be used
- atropine and glycopyrrolate
- mostly the same options as for
normal patients
- monitoring
- ideally birds should be in lateral
recumbency to minimze the
restriction to the air sacs
- birds and mammals may
require lubricant in eyes
- doppler ultrasound useful to listen to
hear lateral tail vain in rates and
cephalic vain in larger mammals can
be used, thoracic inlet for chelonians
and over the heart of snakes and
lizards
- birds are sensitive to having their wing muscles
gently squeezed so can be used to assess depth
and can stimulates breathing so can be useful on
recovery
- ideally birds should be in lateral
recumbency to minimze the
restriction to the air sacs
