Deer
Tame Deer – 0.5 ml Large Animal Immobilon/50 kg bwt (1 cwt). This should be reduced by 30% in pregnant hinds.
Rutting or Wild Deer – up to 1 ml Large Animal Immobilon/50 kg bwt.
Administer by intramuscular injection via a dart.
Large Animal Immobilon is not recommended for use in fallow deer.
For further information on bodyweight and administration of Immobilon in deer, contact the Company.
Reversal of narcosis
A volume of Large Animal Revivon equal to the total volume of Large Animal Immobilon injected should be given intravenously as soon as possible after the required period of restraint is complete. Recovery should then take place with minimal disturbance and noise. Animals should be kept under regular surveillance during recovery.
A further half dose of Large Animal Revivon may be used subcutaneously after the initial intravenous dose if required. For remobilisation, the volume of Revivon must equal the total volume of Immobilon injected.
