A combination of 0.05 mg/kg medetomidine and 1.5 mg/kg ketamine was used to immobilize nine adult free-ranging hog deer (Axis porcinus) captured in drive nets in the Royal Bardia National Park, Nepal, 22-23 February 2000. The drugs were administered intramuscularly from separate syringes and the mean time (+/-SD) to complete immobilization was 4.6+/-1.0 min. Muscle relaxation was good and no major clinical side effects were seen. Mean values for physiologic parameters, recorded at 10-12 and 18-20 min after drug administration, were 40.6+/-0.5 and 41.1+/-0.6 C, 87+/-5 and 84+/-4%, 107+/-16 and 113+/-16 beats/ min, and 46+/-9 and 40+/-8 breaths/min for rectal temperature, SpO2, pulse rate, and respiratory rate, respectively. All animals received 0.25 mg/ kg atipamezole intramuscularly 20-22 min after administration of medetomidine-ketamine and the mean time to coordinated running was 4.8+/-0.8 min. All animals survived for at least 5 mo post-capture. To reduce stress and to facilitate handling, medetomidine-ketamine and atipamezole are recommended for reversible immobilization of free-ranging hog deer captured in drive nets.
