4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
- Intravenous injection of pentobarbital has the ability to cause
induction excitement in several species of animal and
adequate sedation should be applied if deemed necessary by the
veterinary surgeon. Measures should be taken to avoid
perivascular administration (e.g. by using intravenous catheter).
- The intraperitoneal route of administration may cause a prolonged
onset of action with an increased risk of induction
excitement. Intraperitoneal administration must only be used following
appropriate sedation. Measures should be taken
to avoid administration into the spleen or organs/tissue
