title: Acid-base profile of healthy mongrel Indian familaris canis determined by different techniques under two non-volatile anaesthetics.
abstract: The acid-base status of healthy mongrel Indian dogs was compared under pentobarbital sodium and alpha-chloralose anaesthesia. The findings showed similarity of canine acid-base profile under the two types of anaesthesia. Comparison among various techniques of determination of acid-base profile indicated accuracy of findings. However, a slight metabolic acidosis was persistently observed in the majority of dogs under both types of anaesthesia.
