Article Synopsis
- Six healthy rabbits were given varying doses of intramuscular alfaxalone (1mg/kg, 2.5mg/kg, and 5mg/kg) to study its sedative and physiological effects, with observations made after a 7-day rest period.
- The study measured sedative effects using a scoring system and monitored vital signs like pulse, respiratory rate, and blood pressure before and after administration.
- Results showed that higher doses of alfaxalone resulted in quicker and longer-lasting sedation, with the 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg doses leading to complete loss of righting reflex in all rabbits, while no significant circulatory depression or apnea was observed.
