Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of Zoletil, Midazolam-Zoletil and Dexmedetomidine-Zoletil with tramadol in dogs on clinical and cardio-respiratory changes in eighteen clinical cases of dogs requiring elective surgery. Anaesthesia was induced by Zoletil @ 5 mg/kg body weight in Group Z, Midazolam and Zoletil @ 0.2 mg/kg and 5mg/kg body weight in Group MZ and Dexmedetomidine and Zoletil @ 5 µg/kg and 5 mg/kg body weight in Group DZ intravenously respectively in all the groups. Significant differences were recorded in the time of induction, depth of anaesthesia and anaesthetic duration. Baseline physiological parameters (pulse rate, respiratory rate, SpO2 and rectal temperature) were studied and changes during maintenance remained within biologically acceptable limits.
