Abstract
Summary Four young adult mongrel dogs were exposed twice untranquilized to each of 3 environmental temperatures: 4.4° C, 23.9° C and 37.8° C and exposed twice tranquilized with 2.2 mg/kg propiopromazine hydrochloride. Rectal temperatures were monitored and recorded continuously during 2-hour exposures. Little difference was noted in rectal temperature response for tranquilized and untranquilized animals at the 23.9° C exposure. Tranquilized animals showed a greater decline in internal temperature at an environmental temperature of 4.4° C than control and when tranquilized showed a rise in rectal temperature during heat exposure (37.8° C)
