Cystometry in dogs under oxymorphone and acepromazine restraint.
Cystometry was performed in 12 dogs under oxymorphone and acepromazine restraint. A detrusor reflex occurred in 10 of 12 dogs (83%). Mean threshold pressure and volume were 31 cm H2O and 22 ml/kg, respectively. Tonus limb II varied inversely with threshold volume. Threshold volume varied directly with body weight; threshold pressure was independent of body weight.
