Anesthetic
19 anesthetic drugs indexed in the ExoticRx formulary. Each drug page lists species-specific dose ranges, available routes, and primary-source citations.
Clinical context
Veterinary anaesthesia spans injectable induction (ketamine, propofol, alfaxalone, etomidate), inhalational maintenance (isoflurane, sevoflurane), and sedative/analgesic adjuncts. Species-specific considerations dominate: avian air-sac anatomy reshapes ventilation strategy, reptile anaesthesia depends on temperature management, and equine recovery requires assisted standing protocols. Multimodal balanced techniques are the modern standard.
