Any dose of something that could stop an animal that fast would be fatal.

Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom edited the tape between when Jim shot the animal in the ass and when the researchers tagged the critter.

What you don't see is the five minutes of running like you've been shot in the ass (which you totally have), then five to ten minutes of stumbling around like you've had a five martini lunch, and then the two to three minutes of settling down to sleep.
