  • This study was performed to investigate the anesthetic effects of intramuscularly administered medetomidinetiletamine/zolazepam ($Zoletil^{(R)}$) in the green iguana. The doses of medetomidine were 50, 100 and 150 ${\mu}g/kg$ in each groups and tiletamine/zolazepam was administered at doses of 10 mg/kg in all groups. Heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature were measured. Anesthetic depth was evaluated by righting reflex. In all study groups, heart rate and respiratory rate significantly decreased at 5 minutes after anesthetic administration, and gradually increased after 30 minutes. The present study suggested that the combination of 100 ${\mu}g/kg$ of medetomidine and 10 mg/kg of tiletamine/zolazepam provided rapid, safe, and effective anesthesia for the green iguana.

  • This study was performed to investigate the reverse effects of atipamezole in green iguana anesthetized with intramuscular administration of medetomidine-tiletamine/zolazepam ($Zoletil^{\circledR}$). Heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature were measured. Anesthetic depth was evaluated by righting reflex. In all study groups, heart rate and respiratory rate significantly decreased at 5 min after anesthetic administration, and gradually increased after atipamezole administration. The present study suggested that $500{\mu}g/kg$ atipamezole was effective reversal dosage for $500{\mu}g/kg$ medetomidine and 10 mg/kg liletamine/zolazepam combination anesthesia in green iguanas.
