Abstract
Six client-owned dogs which underwent various surgical procedures under multimodal general anaesthesia with meloxicam premedication (0.2mg/kg IM), and induction thirty minutes later with a combination of tiletamine-zolazepam (2 mg/kg), butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg) and dexmedetomidine (5 mcg/kg) and administered intramuscularly, were studied. The signs of sedation and induction of anaesthesia, and their respective times of onset were observed and recorded. All animals received 100% oxygen through an endotracheal tube connected to a breathing circuit of anaesthesia machine. The quality of induction, quality of surgical anaesthesia and response to intraoperative surgical stimuli were noted and recorded. Prolongation of general anaesthesia, when anaesthesia becomes lighter, was done using isoflurane in oxygen with or without propofol. All observations were recorded, and the findings are reported here.
