Cover Story: This study evaluated a DMBK (dexmedetomidine, midazolam, butorphanol, ketamine) and isoflurane protocol for immobilizing 11 Black and 4 Turkey Vultures for procedures like electroretinography. DMBK premedication produced profound sedation but was insufficient for intubation, requiring isoflurane mask induction. Vultures were mechanically ventilated at a median 1.4% end-tidal isoflurane. Physiological responses were similar between species. Remote monitoring was effective. The protocol provided safe and effective anesthesia for successful ERG procedures. View this paper
