| 3 kittens, 3 premed protocols. One had 0.1 mg/kg
hydromorphone with 0.015 mg/kg medetomidine, one had 0.2 mg/kg butorphanol
with 0.015 mg/kg medetomidine, and one had 0.2 mg/kg butorphanol with 0.06
mg/kg acepromazine. Guess which was the butorphanol/acepromazine kitten. All had
doppler SAPs of 100 to 110 mmHg. |

Catheterizing the 0.2 mg/kg butorphanol 0.06 mg/kg acepromazine kitten. This patient is more likely to develop adverse associations with the facility compared to patients given more effective sedative/analgesic combinations. |
