Hetem, Robyn S.; Mitchell, Duncan; De Witt, Brenda A.; Fick, Linda G.; Maloney, Shane K.; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Fuller, Andrea (Wiley, 2019-01)As one of the few felids that is predominantly diurnal, cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) can be exposed to high heat loads in their natural habitat. Little is known about long‐term patterns of body temperature and activity ...

Strauss, W. Maartin; Hetem, Robyn S.; Mitchell, Duncan; Maloney, Shane K.; O’Brien, Haley D.; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Fuller, Andrea (Oxford University Press, 2017)Some mammals have the ability to lower their hypothalamic temperature below that of carotid arterial blood temperature, a process termed selective brain cooling. Although the requisite anatomical structure that facilitates ...

Haw, Anna; Hofmeyr, Markus; Fuller, Andrea; Buss, Peter Erik; Miller, Michele; Fleming, Gregory; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney (BioMed Central, 2014-10)BACKGROUND : Opioid-induced immobilization is associated with severe respiratory depression in the white rhinoceros. We evaluated the efficacy of butorphanol and oxygen insufflation in alleviating opioid-induced respiratory ...

(Oxford University Press, 2023-01)Translocations of Rhinocerotidae are commonly performed for conservation purposes but expose the animals to a variety of stressors (e.g. prolonged fasting, confinement, novel environment, etc.). Stress may change the ...

Rey, Benjamin; Costello, Mary-Ann; Fuller, Andrea; Haw, Anna; Hetem, Robyn S.; Mitchell, Duncan; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney (Wildlife Disease Association, 2014)We evaluated the effectiveness of a ketamine-medetomidine-midazolam drug combination administered intramuscularly by remote injection followed by isoflurane anesthesia in free-living aardvarks (Orycteropus afer). Seven ...

Donaldson, Ashleigh C.; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Fuller, Andrea; Buss, Peter (Oxford University Press, 2023-01)Thirty-six free-ranging lions (12 per group) were immobilized with tiletamine–zolazepam (Zoletil 0.6 mg/kg i.m.) plus medetomidine (0.036 mg/kg i.m.) (TZM), ketamine (3.0 mg/kg i.m.) plus medetomidine (0.036 mg/kg i.m.) ...
