Abstract: | Six hundred forty-four nondomestic Equidae of six species were immobilized with etorphine. Following immobilization, antagonism of etorphine was accomplished with the use of diprenorphine, given i.v. at 2× the etorphine dose. Renarcotization was noted in four of 42 (9.5%) Grevy's zebra (Equus grevyi), two of 37 (5.4%) Persian onager (E. hemionus onager), and 10 of 192 (5.2%) Hartmann's mountain zebra (E. zebra hartmannae). No renarcotization occurred in eastern kiang (E. kiang holdereri), Transcaspian kulan (E. h. kulan), or Mongolian wild horses (E. przewalskii przewalskii). |
