Propofol, Ketamine and ketofol as Total intravenous Anaesthesia in Dogs

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2

Abstract

Inhalation anaesthesia is routinely used for maintenance of anaesthesia in dogs. Sophisticated anaesthetic machine is prerequisite to administer inhalant anaesthetic. So, the non –availability of anaesthetic machine in the field makes its use practically unfeasible for the field veterinarians. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) can provide a valuable alternative to this method, whereby several different drugs or drug combinations and different means of administration can be used. Keywords: TIVA, propofol, ketamine, ketofol, dog, xylazine and atropine
