Abstract

PLEASE NOTE A NEW 2ND EDITION HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND IS AVAILABLE HERE.

Dart guns are used to deliver anaesthetic or medical agents to animals that cannot be routinely handled. Dart guns are considered as Section 5 prohibited firearms and therefore suitable certification is required for their use. This section covers the legal requirements, types of devices available, health and safety and standard operating procedures. Self-assessment questions are included. BSAVA members have access to Jonathan Cracknell’s darting manual (see appendix). Last updated May 2020.
