Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A technique is described for exposure and injection of the jugular vein in the red-eared turtle. Satisfactory anaesthesia and muscular relaxation for this procedure was obtained by intramuscular injection of a mixture of chloral hydrate and sodium pentobarbital at a dose of 2.5 ml/kg bodyweight. Induction time was 30-45 minutes. Time for surgical procedure 30-45 minutes. Recovery time 1-8 hours.
