[visionlist] anaesthesia

[Agne Vaiceliunaite]

Hello,

I have a question about rats' anaesthesia for vision electrophysiology. For
anaesthesia I decided to use Urethane. So far, I used 1000 mg/kg, i.p. 10%
w/v in saline (P.Flecknell, Laboratory animal anaesthesia), but after that
dosage, anaesthesia isn't so deep to perform craniotomy, so, additionally, I
use i.p. perfusion 0,7ml/h. After surgery, even if I stop anaesthesia, rat
dies in 6 hours. Maybe someone has any suggestions?
