The Crab-eating Fox (Cerdocyon thous) is a neotropical carnivorous that requires chemical restraint for handling due to its susceptibility to stress and characteristics of defensive behavior. Ten Crab-eating Fox (9 males and 1 female) weighing 5.85 ± 0.83 kg were given the combination of six protocols (tiletamine-zolazepam-xylazine-atropine and azaperone; dextroketamine-diazepam-xylazine-atropine and azaperone; racemic ketamine-diazepam-xylazine-atropine and azaperone; tiletamine-zolazepam-detomidine-atropine and azaperone; dextroketamina-diazepam-detomidine-atropine and azaperone; racemic ketamine-diazepam-detomidine-atropine and azaperone) by i.m. injection during field procedures that included identification, physical examination, blood sampling, bone marrow harvesting and other mildly invasive procedures of moderate duration in Cerdocyon thous of captivity. After checking the weights of each Crab-eating Fox, the individual dose of each drug was calculated by means of interspecific allometric extrapolation. The proposed method was safe for both the animal and the human personnel and it is recommended for routine management and stressful but not painful medical procedures like physical examination, measuring, sexing, and bone marrow and blood collection in Cerdocyon thous.
