All the dogs, were premedicated with cocktail of glycopyrrolate, butorphanol and midazolam, intramuscularly. Induction using 2.5% thiopental @ 10 mg/kg body weight and propofol (10 mg/ml) @ 4 mg/kg body weight, intravenously in animals of group A and B, respectively, and maintenance with isoflurane in both the groups. The mean value of pH showed a decreasing trend upto the peak anaesthesia level following administration of induction agent in both the groups. Mean PaO₂ values showed a rising trend immediately after induction in both the groups.
