Anesthetics and Analgesics for Axolotls

[Jordi Cantó]

Hello Natalie,

Please, can I have the summary of responses to these questions:

1) Do axolotls need a post leg amputation analgesic? If not why not? If
they do, what sort is appropriate? For how long into the regeneration
period do they require painkillers?

2) Is there another anesthetic other than MS222 appropriate for
anesthetising the axolotls for such an amputation?

Thanks,
