  details
 
Location: Africa - Eastern Africa - Kenya
Subject: Translocation - Immobilization
Species: White Rhino


Original text on this topic:
Ceratotherium simum in Kenya. The animal resented anything other than mild exploration of the lesions, and so I immobilised her with fentanyl citrate and azaperone, using a dose of citrate 70 mg fentanyl, and 300mg azaperone. With this dose she allowed extensive evacuation of the rectum for just under one hour, but remained standing. She would not permit bladder catheterisation.
