Hi,Will anybody care to share their experience about the use of ETORPINE HCl in the process of tranquilization in wild animals especially elephants, Zebras, and Girafees?

anesthetic is difficult, neither exact weight nor actual health status can be predetermined. Additional factors such as nutrition, disease, parasite load, infection, estrus, pregnancy, and lactation are also major anesthetic considerations, but usually cannot be assessed with certainty at a distance. In these cases, special remote drug delivery systems are necessary for anesthesia.
