Abstract
A mask suitable for delivering gas anesthesia to a rabbit in a stereotaxic headholder is described. The mask allows simple delivery of any volatile anesthesia to the rabbit for long periods during stereotaxic surgery, providing an ideal means for rabbit anesthesia when recovery is important.
