Metabolic bone disease was diagnosed in 2 green iguanas hospitalized in Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. Treatments were focused on initially correcting of husbandry with attention being paid to diet, increasing UV exposure time and increasing temperature of aquarium. Calcium complex was injected intramuscularly one time and administered calcium powder orally. Treatments responses were good with recovering body condition and increasing plasma Ca level.

A female Green iguana (Iguana iguana) was brought to the small animal clinic in Hannover Veterinary school because of anorexia and convulsion. Two months ago, the owner bought two iguanas, one female and one male and had to take a female to the one of local small animal clinic because she, born in 19931 didn't eat well and showed the tremor of the legs. The veterinarian suspected it to have a calcium deficiency and gave an injection of calcium and vitamin D3. But still during the last two months, the female iguana did only eat some lettuce while the other male ate lettuce, fruits and commercial cat-food ($Whiskas^{\circledR}$, Effem, Verden). It was not possible to evaluate the rations of these different "food-components". They are kept in the terrarium with water container. By palpation of the abdomen, hard thing like stone was palpated in the mid-region. The blood test wasn't carried out because of the difficulties of getting blood and because of her bad condition. It was firmly diagnosed as cystic calculus through radiography. Since the animal is in shock state already, the prognosis after surgery was bad. It was assumed to be too late to expect its surviving with the surgery carried out or without it. Cystotomy was performed in the cranial ventral paramedian incision in order to preserve the large ventral abdominal vein in the linen alba region. After two stay sutures ("holding suture" ) with 5-0 polyglactin 910 ($Vicryl^{\circledR}, Ethicon$) on the bladder, cystotomy was carried out and the stone inside was removed. Then, the bladder was closed in one-layer sutures. The abdomen was closed in simple interrupted suture with same material after the instillation of 10 ml saline solution into the abdominal cavity. The cystic calculus was in a size of $5.8{\times} 5.O{\times} 3.5 cm$. The analysis of the stone was carried out in two ways which are the infrared spectroscopy of the stone and quick analysis by $Merckognost^{\circledR}$(Diagnostica Merck, Merck). In the result of the infrared spectroscopy, the stone wee composed of 10% ammonium urate and 90% dihydrated uric acid. This iguana wasn't able to survive.n't able to survive.

그린 이구아나에서 medetomidine과 tiletamine/zolazepam의 병용마취효과를 알아보기 위하여 본 실험을 실시하였다. Medetomidine은 MZ50, MZ100 및 MZ150 군에서 각각 50, 100 및 150 ${\mu}g/kg$를 사용하였다. Tiletamine/zolazepam ($Zoletil^{(R)}$)은 모든 군에서 10 mg/kg을 적용하였다. 10마리의 건강한 이구아나 (420-490 g)를 2주 간격으로 3회 실험 하였다. 심박동수, 호습수 그리고 체온을 측정하였으며 righting reflex를 통해 마취 심도를 평가하였다. 모든 군에서 심박동수와 호흡수는 마취주사 5분 후에 유의성 있는 감소를 보였으며 (P<0.05) 30분 후에는 지속적으로 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 본 연구결과 medetomidine 100 ${\mu}g/kg$과 tiletamine/zolazepam 10 mg/kg의 병용이 그린이구아나에서 빠르고 안정적이며 효과적인 마취를 제공한다고 생각된다.

그린 이구아나에서 medetomidine과 tiletamine/zolazepam의 병용마취시 atipamezole에 의한 길항효과를 알아 보기 위하여 본 실험을 실시하였다. 심박동수, 호흡수 그리고 체온을 측정하였으며 righting reflex에 의하여 마취의 심도 및 회복을 평가하였다. 두군 모두에서 심박동수와 호흡수는 마취주사 5분 후에 유의성 있는 감소를 보였으며 (p<0.05) atipamezole 주사 후에는 지속적으로 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 본 연구결과 atipamezole $500{\mu}g/kg$은 medetomidine $500{\mu}g/kg$과 liletamine/zolazepam 10mg/kg의 병용마취를 실시한 그린 이구아나에서 효과적인 길항 용량이라고 생각된다.
