Animal tranquilization is the process of administering sedative drugs to animals to calm them or reduce their anxiety. This practice is often used in veterinary medicine, wildlife management, and research to safely handle animals during examinations, surgeries, or relocation. The tranquilizers help minimize stress for both the animal and the handlers. The drugs used for tranquilization can vary based on the species and the situation. Commonly used tranquilizers include xylazine and ketamine, which can be delivered via injection or inhalation. Proper dosage and monitoring are crucial to ensure the animal's safety and well-being during the procedure.
