The aim of this study was cilinical evaluation of anesthesia by intramuscular administration of

ketamine combined with xylazine, diazepam and midazolam in hedgehogs. Seven hedgehogs were

anesthetized by intramuscular (IM) administration of ketamine – xylazine (KX group), ketamine-

diazepam (KD group) and ketamine- midazolam (KM group) with an interval of one week. The stages

of anesthesia (induction time of anesthesia, the maintenance and recovery time) were measured and

recorded. Data analyses showed that induction time and maintenance of anesthesia have not significant

difference between all protocols P>0.05. Complete recovery time from anesthesia in KM group was

longer than KX and KD groups p<0.05. The results of this study showed that three of anesthesia

methods could be used for general anesthesia in hedgehogs if they are available easily but it must be

attend to longer recovery time of KM. However, choice of suitable anesthesia method is depending on

work type (blood sampling, isolate parasites, minor surgery).
