Zetamine 100mg/mL 10mL *C3* (Ketamine)
Description
Zetamine may be used in cats for restraint or as the sole anesthetic agent for diagnostic or minor, brief, surgical procedures that do not require skeletal muscle relaxation. It may be used in subhuman primates for restraint.
Zetamine is well tolerated by cats and subhuman primates when administered by intramuscular injection. Fasting prior to induction of anesthesia or restraint with Zetamine is not essential; however, when preparing for elective surgery, it is advisable to withhold food for at least six hours prior to administration of Zetamine.
Anesthesia may be of shorter duration in immature cats. Restraint in subhuman primate neonates (less than 24 hours of age) is difficult to achieve. As with other anesthetic agents, the individual response to Zetamine is somewhat varied depending upon the dose, general condition and age of the subject so that dosage recommendations cannot be absolutely fixed.
