title: Preliminary results on the use of medetomidine-ketamine combinations in the dog.
abstract: The effects of medetomidine and ketamine by subsequent or simultaneous in injections were studied. ECG, arterial blood gas analyses and mean arterial pressure measurements were done periodically during the 60 min monitoring period. Medetomidine and ketamine induced deep sedation that proved useful for minor operations in clinical work.
