Abstract: The study conducted to assess the clinical observations in tigers (Panthera tigris), leopard (Panthera pardus) and lion (Panthera leo persica). The work performed in eighteen wild felids at National Parks of Madhya Pradesh. Dose of xylazine and ketamine required for chemical immobilization in tigers, 1.77±0.09 and 4.63±0.33 mg/kg body weight respectively with induction time of 10.5±1.09 min. Dose of xylazine and ketamine required for chemical immobilization in leopards, 1.5±0.25 and 3.5±0.5 mg/kg body weight respectively with induction time of 10.5±0.76 min. While for chemical immobilization of lion, Xylazine and ketamine with the mean dose rate of 1.33±0.13 and 3.12±0.15 mg/kg body weight respectively was administered intramuscularly at the right thigh using a blow pipe with induction time of 11.17±0.98 min. Atropine sulphate at the dose of 0.04 mg/kg body weight was administered intramuscularly.
