By: C. Keeney n, M. Gorges  n, M. Gremling n, S. Chinnadurai* & T. Harrison* 

MeSH headings : Animals; Wolves; Hyperkalemia / drug therapy; Hyperkalemia / veterinary; Terbutaline; Ketamine; Anesthetics; Butorphanol
topics (OpenAlex): Veterinary Pharmacology and Anesthesia; Anesthesia and Sedative Agents; Renal function and acid-base balance
TL;DR: Serial blood gases, with electrolyte measurements, are recommended during anesthesia of red wolves, particularly when anesthetic time may be prolonged or the patient suffers from hyperthermia, as Terbutaline appears to be a successful treatment should hyperkalemia arise.
