Abstract


The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of butorphanol, dexmedetomidine, tiletamine and zolazepam anaesthesia on blood gas and haematological parameters in cats. These parameters were monitored before anaesthetic induction and 10 minutes following anaesthetic induction. Statistical analysis revealed that no significant changes exist and the parameters were within the normal reference range for cats. Therefore, this anaesthetic technique could be employed safely for elective surgery in cats.
