Original text on this topic:
Use of Immobilon in zoo animals. Immobilon is Etorphine, M99. Etoprhine induces uncontrolled excitable behaviour and we tried to overcome the side effect by simultanous administration of Rompun (xylazine 100 mg/ml)
In 4 cases of immobilizing Ceratotherium simum we used 1.6 ml of Immobilon, no additional xylazin, which is a dosage of 0.0056 etorphine mg/kg animal weight.
