The use of a ketamine-diazepam mixture to immobilise wild grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) and southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina)

Veterinary Record, 1988

Abstract

A mixture of ketamine and diazepam, at doses of 6 mg/kg and 0.30 mg/kg respectively, proved to be a reliable and reasonably safe immobilisation agent for field work on grey and southern elephant seals. It was better than previously reported drugs used either singly or in combination.
