Alfaxalone anaesthesia in the green iguana (Iguana iguana).
OBJECTIVE To characterise the anaesthetic effects of alfaxalone administered intramuscularly (IM) at 10, 20, and 30 mg kg(-1) . STUDY DESIGN Prospective, randomized cross-over study. ANIMALS Ten juvenile green iguanas (Iguana iguana) of mean body weight (±SD) 480 ± 134 g. METHODS Alfaxalone was administered IM in the triceps of both thoracic limbs. Times for anaesthetic induction, plateau...
متن کاملLight and scanning electron microscopy of the developing lingual papillae in the green iguana, Iguana iguana
Reptiles have recently become a popular group of pet animals. A relatively large number of studies on the morphology of the oral cavity and method of feeding in adult individuals have been published. Nevertheless, embryological descriptions of reptile body parts or structures are rare. In this study, we describe the morphology of the developing tongue, in particular its dorsal surface, in pre-h...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of ketoprofen in the green iguana (Iguana iguana) following single intravenous and intramuscular injections.
The nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug ketoprofen (KTP) is a commonly used antiinflammatory and analgesic agent in reptile medicine, but no studies documenting its pharmacokinetics in this species have been published. Ketoprofen was administered as a racemic mixture to green iguanas (Iguana iguana) intravenously (i.v.) and intramuscularly (i.m.) at 2 mg/kg. Pharmacokinetic analyses were perform...
متن کاملMechanics of limb bone loading during terrestrial locomotion in the green iguana (Iguana iguana) and American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis).
In vivo measurements of strain in the femur and tibia of Iguana iguana (Linnaeus) and Alligator mississippiensis (Daudin) have indicated three ways in which limb bone loading in these species differs from patterns observed in most birds and mammals: (i) the limb bones of I. iguana and A. mississippiensis experience substantial torsion, (ii) the limb bones of I. iguana and A. mississippiensis ha...
متن کاملOxygen transport by the circulatory system of the green iguana (Iguana iguana) at different body temperatures.
Since the early investigations of Cowles & Bogert (1944), it has become established that many lizards when active under natural conditions have mean body temperatures that are several degrees higher than air temperature in the shade and are relatively constant (Brattstrom, 1965). This difference between the mean (or eccritic) body temperature and air temperature is maintained primarily by absor...
