A clinical comparison of CT1341, ketamine, and xylazine in cats.
The new anesthetic agent CT1341 was compared to ketamine and xylazine in experimental and clinical situations with cats. Anesthesia with CT1341 was characterized by fast recovery times, good muscle relaxation, eyelid closure, occasional vomition, defecation, or urination during induction and recovery, generally smooth induction, and occasional hyperreflexive recoveries with much sneezing. The agent was moderately hypotensive, but caused little change in heart rate, central venous pressure, arterial pH, or blood gases.
