Abstract
A combination of tiletamine/zolazepam, xylazine and butorphanol provides de ep surgical, long-duration anaesthesia in guineapigs with a smooth inductio n and recovery period. The described dosages mainly affect the respiratory functions and blood gas parameters, with a minor-to-moderate effect on the cardiovascular system.
