Thirteen roe deer (12 males, 1 female; body weight 21 [20 – 24] kg) received IM ketamine (1.5 mg kg-1) and medetomidine (30 μg kg-1), administered via blowpipe or direct injection, depending on the circumstances. For all subjects, induction time (time to immobilisation) was recorded and key physiological variables (HR, FR, and SpO2) were monitored every 5 minutes. Euthanasia was performed when rehabilitation was deemed unfeasible. For the remaining individuals, atipamezole (0.15 mg kg-1, administered half IV and half IM) was used as a reversal agent, and time to standing was ecorded.

Abstract
Thirteen roe deer (12 males, 1 female; body weight 21 [20 – 24] kg) received IM ketamine (1.5 mg kg-1) and medetomidine (30 μg kg-1), administered via blowpipe or direct injection, depending on the circumstances. For all subjects, induction time (time to immobilisation) was recorded and key physiological variables (HR, FR, and SpO2) were monitored every 5 minutes. Euthanasia was performed when rehabilitation was deemed unfeasible. For the remaining individuals, atipamezole (0.15 mg kg-1, administered half IV and half IM) was used as a reversal agent, and time to standing was ecorded.
