Sammanfattning
In captive situations, a deer may be effectively handled in drop-floor or hydraulic squeeze chutes. Remote drug delivery is typically used in free-ranging deer and the hindquarters are usually the best target. Neuroleptics can be extremely useful in the management of wild and semidomesticated deer. These drugs will facilitate transport of deer and decrease stress in acutely captured deer. A combination of butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine has proven to be useful for immobilization of a number of captive and wild deer species. Potent opioids, such as etorphine, carfentanil, and fentanyl, have been widely used for immobilization of several different deer species. Inhalational anesthesia is recommended for prolonged or very invasive procedures. Airway protective reflexes are absent under inhalational anesthesia, and regurgitation and aspiration can occur, therefore intubation is recommended. Hypoventilation may be encountered, necessitating intermittent positive pressure ventilation.
