Techniques of Administration
Administration of medications to zoo and wildlife
species can be made considerably easier by training the
animals to accept them. Such training has increasingly
become part of the general animal care routine at many
zoological institutions. A remarkable variety of species
have been taught to tolerate injections, swallow tablets,
and accept various other forms of drug administration.
Such training requires a significant time commitment
both for teaching the behaviors as well as for ongoing
practice to maintain them, using placebos when the
animal is healthy.
