Neuroleptanalgesic drug combinations in the anaesthetic management of small laboratory animals

Lab Anim. 1975 Jul;9(3):161-78. doi: 10.1258/002367775780994574.

Abstract

Trials of different drug combinations for use in rabbits, guinea-pigs, rats, hamsters and mice are described in detail and experience over a 5-year period evaluated. Combinations of fentanyl citrate, fluanisone and diazepam provided exceptionally good anaesthesia in each species and were considered superior to other injectable agents.
