Intramuscular and intravenous immobililzation of juvenile southern elephant seals
We compared intravenousa nd intramusculara dministrationso f ketamine and diazepam to immobilizejuvenile (8 to 24-month-old) southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina), to determine the mostappropriate method for immobilizing seals to a level required for stomach flushing or attaching electronicacti...
