Effects of Iletamine-Zolazepam-Xylazine-Tramadol Combination on Biochemical and Haematological Parameters in Cats
Abstract
Cats were injected with 2.4 mg/kg of tiletamine-zolazepam, 0.36 mg/kg of xylazine, and 0.8 mg/kg of tramadol, then blood was collected from their peripheral veins at 0.5, 1, 4, 8, 24, 48, 72, and 168 h after the injection. Before injection, the same cats were used as control group (0 h). Biochemical and haematological parameters were measured. The results revealed that the combination of the compounds produced good immobilisation, with minimal changes over time in biochemical and haematological parameters, which were within biologically acceptable limits.
