What are some considerations for anesthetizing rabbits? |
- easily frightened - hard to intubate - abdominal organs might interfere with diaphragm movement in dorsal recumbency |
|
|

|
|
What is the procedure for gastric gavage of a mouse? |
- restrain animal in least dominant hand in an upright position - measure the needle to insure proper length - insert gavage needle into the animal's mouth, directing it along the dorsal midline - push the needle gently, then wiggle it slightly until the animal swallows the needle, and advance it the rest of the way into the animal's stomach - inject the contents of the syringe into the stomach, then withdraw the needle - if resistance is felt, don't force the needle or you could damage the esophagus, or advance the needle into the trachea |
|
|
What is the procedure for IP injections on a mouse? |
- restrain animal in your least dominant hand, held with its head down at a 225 degree angle - insert the needle at a 45 degree angle into the animal, along the ventral midline, just cranial and slightly medial to the last nipple - aspirate to insure the needle is not in a vessel or the stomach, then inject |
