Anestesia multimodal em coruja orelhuda, Asio clamator, submetido à amputação de asa

Abstract

Despite the evolution of anesthesia in birds in the last two decades, detailed information on the best indications for anesthetic agents is still scarce, especially with regard to locoregional analgesia. The present study reports on the multimodal anesthesia technique of a free-eared owl, seen at the Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso submitted to left wing amputation. As a pre-anesthetic medication, the association of midazolam and morphine was administered intramuscularly, induction by nasoral mask with inhaled anesthetic isoflurane and maintenance with the same halogenate via endotracheal tube. The protocol proved to be effective and suitable for the species, with fast recovery, free of excitement and signs of intoxication, however, hypothermia was an undesirable manifestation. Thus, this report demonstrates an important role to aggregate considerable information in the area of predators anesthesia using auxiliary techniques for routine procedures.
