Abstract:
This study was performed to assess clinical efficacy of two anaesthetic protocols Atropine-Tiletamine-Zolazepam (ATZ) and Dexmedetomidine-Ketamine-Butorphanol (DKB) anaesthesia for spaying in domestic felines. Patients were monitored for 120 minutes to study anaesthetic intervals, depth of anaesthesia and quality of anaesthesia. ATZ provided rapid sedation and induction compared to DKB while duration of antinociception and degree of muscle relaxation was better in DKB. In conclusion, ATZ renders surgical anaesthesia providing smaller window for completion of surgery in comparison to DKB.
