This study evaluated the effects of ketamine-dexmedetomidine-midazolam as part of an opioid-free, multimodal protocol in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy. In a prospective, blinded, randomized clinical trial, cats received either 1 of 2 doses of ketamine [5 mg/kg body weight (BW), n = 10, K5 or 7 ...

Propofol is the most frequent drug used for induction of anesthesia in small animals. Its cardiovascular and respiratory depressor effects are well known. The association with other drugs would determinate a reduction of its dose, and this possibility is little known in cats. In the present study,...
