Tribromoethanol is dosed at 125–250 mg/kg IP not stated in the cited source in mice, per Fish and Meyer, 2008 (cited by VPT p.296-297 for the mouse tribromoethanol dosing and for the terminal-study-only recommendation) — Verified against Riviere & Papich, Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 10th Ed, p.297 (2026-08-01). — SOURCE UNVERIFIABLE 2026-08-07: the cited book (Papich, Saunders Handbook of Veterinary Drugs (held: 4th ed, 2016)) does not contain this drug anywhere in the held copy. The reference cannot be confirmed here and the page, if any, is unchecked. It is deliberately NOT re-pointed at another text that does mention the molecule — that would assert a provenance this dose never had. Confirm against the source directly before use. — SOURCE EDITION: Saunders Handbook of Veterinary Drugs — ISBN 9780323244855, https://openlibrary.org/isbn/9780323244855; Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics — ISBN 9781118855829, https://openlibrary.org/isbn/9781118855829.

ExoticRx lists 1 cited dose rule for Tribromoethanol in mice, drawn from published veterinary references. Verify against current literature before clinical use.

Tribromoethanol dose range in mice, with cited source references: IP 125–250 mg/kg not stated in the cited source. Reference ranges from cited sources — verify against current literature before clinical use.
Documented routes for Tribromoethanol in mice: IP.
Tribromoethanol is indicated in mice for: Injectable anesthesia (duration 30-45 min).
Why a species-specific page? Tribromoethanol pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in mice — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
