| Abstract | ||||
| General anaesthesia produced by a combination of xylazine (Rompun, Bayer) and ketamine (ketalar, Parke Davis) was evaluated in 27 camels. The drugs were given by intramuscular or intravenous injection. Xylazine was given i.m. in a dose rate of 0.2 mg/kg b.w. for premedication. The mixture of xylazine (0.15 mg/kg) and ketamine (1.5-2 mg/kg b.w.) intramuscularly was superior than intravenous route. Various surgical procedures were performed under the effect of xylazine and ketamine mixture which provided satisfactory, safe deep anaesthesia persisting for up to one hour. | ||||
