[Histonet] Good Perfusion...

[Merced M Leiker]

Hey everyone...just thought I'd add an "official" word from the authorities 
in this debate...as I'd been taught or somehow led to believe otherwise: 
:-)

Perfusion under deep anesthesia is an acceptable method of euthanasia.

Hi there,

I am in a debate about pre-mortem perfusion fixation of an animal (a small
rodent) while it is under deep anesthesia.  Would this be allowed by our
IACUC guidelines or not?  Or would the animal rather have to be perfused
post-mortem?

Thank you for your advice.
