Ocular disease associated with silage feeding and Listeria monocytogenes in fallow deer

Romifidine as a premedicant for anaesthesia in the dog DOGS which were given intravenous doses of 40 or 80 tg romifidine/kg bodyweight required much smaller doses of thiopentone for the induction of anaesthesia, and a lower end tidal concentration of halothane for the maintenance of anaesthesia than untreated dogs. The reductions were in proportion to the dose of romifidine. Furthermore, the dogs treated with romifidine recovered more quickly, and the higher dose of the drug significantly improved the overall quality of the anaesthesia. ENGLAND, G. C. W. & HAMMOND, R.
