Analysis shows improved oxygen levels in moose after treatment with doxapram, indicating better recovery protocols for immobilized wildlife.
Drug-induced hypoxemia can occur with the immobilization of free-living moose (Alces alces). We describe the physiologic response of 12 adult females immobilized with thiafentanil and xylazine and exhibiting clinical signs of hypoxemia before (pretreatment) and after (posttreatment) nasal oxygen supplementation (4 L/min) with or without intravenous doxapram.
