I want to do stereotactic surgery/ microinjection in post-natal/juvenile mice within the age range of P10-P16. I am specifically looking for suggestions on anesthesia. The pup does not get anesthetized with 1% Isoflurane (0.8-1 litre/min oxygen flow). Induction was observed at 2% but trying to maintain the anesthesia at 1% leads to death. Below this level, pup does not get anesthetized. I don't want to work with Hypothermia induced anesthesia. So, if anyone has any experience in these type of surgeries, please suggest any tips or tricks to anesthetize the pups in this age range.
