“…We checked traps each morning because raccoons are primarily nocturnal (Greenwood 1982). All raccoons were anesthetized using a standard dose of 20 mg of Zoletil (Vibrac, Carros, France) that was administered to the hind leg (Pitt et al 2006a). Upon inoculation, raccoons were weighed and ear-tagged (National Band and Tag Co., Newport, Kentucky), sex was determined, and body condition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (Pitt et al 2006b).…”

“…Ausência do reflexo caudal CEMTRA -6/6 5/6 3/6 3/6 3/6 1/6 TZ -6/6 5/6 3/6 0/6 0/6 0/6 curativos são frequentes nestas espécies, a presença de um agente analgésico torna-se fundamental (Pitt et al 2006). Entretanto, neste estudo não se utilizou métodos para se determinar o grau de analgesia do protocolo, pois o reflexo ao pinçamento discutido anteriormente reflete a sedação e os reflexos motores e não a qualidade analgésica (Monteiro et al 2009).…”

“…O uso da associação tiletamina-zolazepam (TZ) em animais selvagens e exóticos tem sido amplo por requerer pequeno volume de injeção, ter boa absorção por via intramuscular, possuir ampla margem de segurança em animais hígidos e permitir desde imobilização até anestesia (Lin 1993, Pitt et al 2006. Porém, o uso desta associação ainda é controverso em algumas espécies por falta de estudos, apesar das recomendações de fabricantes para espécies do mesmo gênero.…”

We used 12 healthy red howler monkeys, weighing 6.4±0.4 kg, which were fasted and without water six and two hours, respectively. The animals were divided into two groups that received intramuscular injection: TZ (n=6) which received tiletamine-zolazepam (Zoletil ® ) at a dose of 3.6mg/kg and CEMTRA (n=6) which received ketamine S (+), tramadol and midazolan (Cemtra ® , pilot batch 001/10, Ouro Fino Saúde Animal Ltda, Cravinhos/SP, Brazil, comprising 100mg/ml of ketamine S (+), tramadol 20mg/ml and 10mg/ml of midazolam) in dose of 1ml of the association for each 10kg of body weight, equivalent doses of 10mg/kg, 1mg/kg and 2mg/kg, respectively. Prior to administration of drugs (M0) were evaluated: heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT), capillary refill time (CRT), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2 ), presence of salivation, degree of muscle relaxation and sedation, Bispectral index (BIS) and Signal Quality BIS (SQI), interdigital pinch response and latency times, ambulation and total recovery (TRT). The parameters were reassessed M5, M10, M20, M30, M40 and M50 (5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 minutes after drug administration). In TZ animals were more responsive to the interdigital pinch over time. The animals of CEMTRA showed a higher degree of muscle relaxation and sedation. The RR of CEMTRA was lower after administration of treatment at all times in relation to M0. Among the groups RR of CEMTRA was lower compared to the TZ in M2 and M4. The total time of sedation and recovery was 48±4 min and 150.1±42.1 for the CEMTRA and 38±7 and 73.1±20.6 for the TZ. We conclude that both formulations are safe for containing chemical howler, and the CEMTRA showed better sedation and muscle relaxant.

“…Traps were set in the afternoon and checked in the morning, and following capture, raccoons were anesthetized using an intramuscular injection of 0.20 mL to 0.50 mL of Telazol (100 mg/mL, Fort Dodge Animal Health, Fort Dodge, IA; Pitt, Lariviere, & Messier, 2006b). Once they had been anesthetized, raccoons were aged (juvenile or adult), sexed, weighed (kg), and measured (cm) for total body length (TBL), tail length (TL), right ear length (EL), right rear foot length (RFL), and chest circumference (CC; Pitt et al,…”

The effects of raccoon (Procyon lotor) rehabilitation on postrelease survivorship are unknown. Raccoon rehabilitation success was measured as differences in prewinter body condition, home range size, distance to manmade structures, and during-winter survival between raccoons in the wild and those who have been rehabilitated. Prewinter body condition did not differ between wild and rehabilitated raccoons, but there was a trend for rehabilitated raccoons to have better body conditions. There was no difference between wild and rehabilitated raccoon adaptive kernel (AK) home range for 95% and 90% AK home ranges, or for core (50% AK) use areas. There was no sex difference in distance traveled from the release site within rehabilitated raccoons. However, rehabilitated raccoons were found significantly closer (49.4 ± 4.7 m) to manmade structures than wild raccoons (92.2 ± 14.4 m), and female raccoons were found significantly closer (64.8 ± 4.5 m) to manmade structures than male raccoons (72.3 ± 17.6 m). The results of this study indicate that raccoons can be successfully rehabilitated, but they may occupy habitat closer to manmade structures than wild raccoons.
