Echocardiographic evaluation of the effects of medetomidine and xylazine in dogs

J S Rand et al. Aust Vet J. 1996 Feb.

Abstract

The echocardiographic effects of medetomidine and xylazine were evaluated in 6 healthy dogs. Values for echocardiographic variables were significantly different from pre-treatment values after administration of both drugs. The effects of medetomidine were similar to that of xylazine. Because of their cardiac depressant effects, both drugs should be used with care in sick dogs.
