EFFECTS OF MIDAZOLAM IN DIFFERENT DOSES IN REDTAIL BOA Boa constrictor LINNAEUS, 1758 (SQUAMATA: BOIDAE)
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of midazolam in Boa constrictor. We used 20 redtail boas, divided into two groups of ten animals each. Group 1 (G1) received 1 mg/kg of midazolam and group 2 (G2) 2 mg/kg, by intracelomic injection. The specimens of G1 presented reduction of hea...

| description | The objective of this study was to compare the effects of midazolam in Boa constrictor. We used 20 redtail boas, divided into two groups of ten animals each. Group 1 (G1) received 1 mg/kg of midazolam and group 2 (G2) 2 mg/kg, by intracelomic injection. The specimens of G1 presented reduction of head tone, muscle tone, manipulation, and locomotion for 233.50 ± 71.34 minutes and the representatives of G2 for 328.50 ± 125.35 minutes. No redtail boa belonging to both G1 and G2 presented absence of postural righting reflex or achieved analgesia. However, all specimens tested showed intense muscle relaxation and difficulty to move in. The turnaround time to pre-sedation conditions were 279 ± 73.55 minutes for G1 and 372 ± 142.27 minutes for G2. There were no statistical differences between evaluations of heart and respiratory rates in both groups tested. We concluded, therefore, in redtail boa, midazolam at the dosage of 1 mg/kg causes the same effect as 2 mg/kg, but with shorter recovery time, and it can be used to contain Boa constrictor, or in associations aimed at an effective muscle relaxation.
