Abstract
The effects of a combination of etomidate (1.0 mg/kg bw) and fetanyl (0.005 mg/kh bw) on haematology, blood gases, acid-base balance and haemodynamics were investigated in 8 mongrel dogs. The only significant change in haematology was leucopenia. Blood gas values and acid-base balance initially showed a depression of respiration and a tendency to slight metabolic acid dosis. Decreased heart rate caused diminution of cardiac output, while systemic and pulmonary resistance as well as stroke volume were not altered significantly.
