Front 1

the process of inducing painless death to pets

Back 1

euthanasia

Front 2

how should euthanasia be done?

Back 2

• should be done rapidly and humanely

• should be done away from public view

Front 3

This euthanasia is satisfactory for several species if used in an uncrowded chamber- safe, humane, economical, rapid

Back 3

carbon dioxide

Front 4

TRUE OR FALSE: Euthanasia in small rodents newborn may be more resistant than adults.

Back 4

True

Front 5

In euthanizing rabbits by carbon dioxide, how much concentration is needed?

Back 5

concentrations of 40-100% are safe and effective

Front 6

In euthanizing dogs and cats by carbon dioxide, how much concentration is needed?

Back 6

should at least be 40%, preferably 70%

Front 7

how many minutes should an animal remain in the container after carbon dioxide euthanasia?

Back 7

20 minutes after respiratory arrest to ensure death

Front 8

TRUE OR FALSE: Carbon Dioxide euthanasia is not suitable for cats which become unconscious within 90 seconds and die in 5 minutes in concentrations less than 60%

Back 8

False. It’s very suitable for cats.

Front 9

What euthanasia inhalation anesthetics that may be too expensive?

Back 9

Halothane and methoxyflurane

Front 10

this euthanasia inhalation anesthetic is inexpensive but flammable, but it is unsatisfactory because death is prolonged

Back 10

ether

Front 11

this euthanasia inhalation anesthesia is not recommended any more

Back 11

Chloroform or Carcinogenic

Front 12

this is the most commonly used barbiturates euthanasia

Back 12

sodium pentobarbital (pentobarbitone)

Front 13

in rodents, this route in euthanasia barbiturates is easier and faster

Back 13

intraperitoneal (IP) route

Front 14

in rodents, this route of euthanasia barbiturate is more difficult and time-consuming

Back 14

intravenous (IV) route

Front 15

these euthanasia barbiturates may be painful and are recommended only in animals already sedated

Back 15

intrathoracic and intracardiac methods

Front 16

in euthanasia barbiturates, sodium pentobarbital at three times the anesthetic dose causes what in dogs and cats?

Back 16

cardiac arrest

Front 17

in euthanasia barbiturates, premedication with sedative drugs by intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) routes facilitates what?

Back 17

restraint for intravenous injection

Front 18

reserved for fractious animals

Back 18

IP injection

Front 19

can be used in dogs already anesthetized, or by skilled personnel in unanesthetized animals

Back 19

intracardiac injection

Front 20

These animals are injected by IP or IV route while animal is being held or restrained in squeeze cage in euthanasia barbiturates

Back 20

primates

Front 21

This type of euthanasia requires skill to be effective and humane

Back 21

cervical or cranial concussion (stunning)

Front 22

how are guinea pigs stunned?

Back 22

may be with a sharp blow to the back of the neck

Front 23

How are rabbits stunned behind the head?

Back 23

• wooden or metal object

• the heel of the hands as in a karate blow (rabbit punch)

Front 24

after stunning rodents, it’s usually followed by?

Back 24

exsanguination and thorocatomy

Front 25

after stunning rabbits, it’s usually followed by?

Back 25

decapitation

exsanguination

thorocatomy

Front 26

this type of euthanasia also requires skill to be effective and humane

Back 26

cervical dislocation

Front 27

this type of euthanasia is very satisfactory in mice, can be used for other animals weighing less than 250 gm e.g. young rats; used only if a few mice are to be sacrificed

Back 27

cervical dislocation

Front 28

what is placed against the back of the neck when doing a cervical dislocation in rodents?

Back 28

thumb

first finger

pencil

piece of wood

metal object

Front 29

these animals are more difficult to euthanatize by the cervical dislocation method due to their short necks, stronger neck muscles, and loose skin over the neck and shoulders

Back 29

hamsters and guinea pigs

Front 30

this euthanasia by decapitation is unpleasant and dangerous to the operator but useful for pharmacological studies or for special studies in which drugs are contraindicated

Back 30

Performed with the use of guillotine

Front 31

this method of euthanasia is objectionable to many people

Back 31

euthanasia by decapitation and performed with the use of guillotine

Front 32

Euthanasia method that is used in animals (usually rabbits and guinea pigs) that have high titers of antibodies

Back 32

exsanguination

Front 33

when must be exsanguination performed?

Back 33

AFTER anesthetization

Front 34

in exsanguination, isolation of the carotid artery or venipuncture via the intracardiac route are means of?

Back 34

withdrawing blood

Front 35

this euthanasia method is NOT recommended in unanesthetized animals but mostly used in rabbits

Back 35

air by the intravenous route

Front 36

5-50 mL/kg produces rapid death that may be accompanied by convulsions, opisthotonos, pupillary dilatation, and vocalization

Back 36

air by intravenous route

Front 37

this euthanasia method is given intravenous to cats and dogs to effect; animals MUST be sedated first

Back 37

chloral hydrate and magnesium sulfate

Front 38

how many concentration of ethanol should be used in mice and rats only?

Back 38

70% concentration is usually used

Front 39

this euthanasia method is initially proposed by Dr. Roger Lord of the Queensland (Australia) Institute of Medical Research, Herston, Queensland (CCAC Research 16(1); 1991,1992- January)

Back 39

euthanasia by ethanol

Front 40

how is ethanol injected?

Back 40

injected intraperitoneally

Front 41

humane, inexpensive, very simple euthanasia method

Back 41
