Thanks for the pointer, I've requested a correction from Tufts on that information.

With regard to this recent discussion I note that the Tufts University
ferret course is suggesting that pre meds (ketamine combined with
xylazine) be used before anesthesia and use of ketamine combined
with diazepam as a sedatives for ultrasound, venipuncture etc.

As this is not the normal practice with vets 'in the field' why is this
being taught to new vets?
