Second Choice
Thiopentone sodium 100 mg/kg.
Delivery: i.p. 1 mL/kg
Third Choice
Nembutal (50 mg/mL solution of Pentobarbital)
Delivery: i.p. 0.8 mL/kg
Notes
• Pentobarbital is ok but you will get some of them breathing as you perform the test; you just have to be patient.
Thiopentone tends to be better.
• It is also recommended that the i.p. injection be made to two sites, not just one. Be patient.
• Concerning the Ketamine cocktail:
Xylazine hydrochloride (Rompun) may be used in place of the Medetomidine, at the same dose.
