Sedation and/or anesthesia is routinely and successfully used in raptors for a wide variety of procedures from the routine such as physical examination, radiographs, or venipuncture, to the more complex, such as orthopedic surgeries. Understanding the anatomy and physiology of raptor patients who present for care, and being fully prepared before the start of any procedure, can increase the success of anesthetic procedures. Recent advances in raptor sedation and anesthesia continue to improve the health and welfare of these avian patients.

Department of Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Aydın Adnan Menderes University, 09016 Aydin, Turkey.
The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of detomidine and medetomidine alone or in combination with ketamine on Schirmer tear test I (STT I) results and intraocular pressures (IOPs) in the common buzzard (). Fourteen ophthalmologically healthy common buzzards were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 α-2 adrenoreceptor agonist groups: a detomidine group (group 1) and a medetomidine group (group 2). The detomidine group had 2 subgroups, detomidine alone or in combination with ketamine.
