Xylazine
別名: Rompun, AnaSed, Sedazine, Cervizine, Chanazine, Gemini, Nerfasin, Sedaxylan, Virbaxyl, Xylacare, Xylapan
Xylazine is a potent sedative and pain-relieving medication used to calm animals for procedures or as part of an anesthetic protocol. * **Vomiting:** It is very common for cats (and sometimes dogs) to vomit shortly after receiving this drug. This is an expected effect and is sometimes the primary reason the drug is given (e.g., if your pet ate something toxic). * **Recovery:** Your pet may be groggy, uncoordinated, or sleepy for a few hours after the procedure. Keep them in a quiet, safe, and comfortable environment until they are fully awake. * **Startle Reflex:** Even if an animal (especially a horse) appears deeply asleep, sudden loud noises can cause them to startle or kick violently. Always move quietly around sedated animals.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
