Immobilization of Captive White-tailed Deer with Mixtures of Telazol and Rompun
We evaluated mixtures of Telazol and Rompun for immobilizing captive white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Three doses of Telazol and Rompun were used to immobilize adult male deer (N = 32), and 5 doses were used to immobilize yearling deer (N = 78). Mixtures of these agents immobilized deer quicker and with deeper sedation than previously experienced using Rompun alone. There were no differences in immobilization or recovery periods between doses of 250:150 mg versus 167:200 mg Telazol:Rompun in adult males. There were no differences in immobilization or recovery periods between...
