The reasons to sedate our veterinary patients are many. Sedation allows for less stressful handling, positioning, and diagnostic collection for both the patient and veterinary staff. Radiographs, biopsies, IV catheter placement, and potentially even physical exam, nail trimming, ear cleaning and other maintenance procedures can be achieved with more accuracy and safety, and believe it or not, more quickly with appropriate sedation. No one drug possesses every desired quality (reliable sedation, good analgesia, reversibility, minimal side effects) so it is necessary to have a good understanding of many options and combinations so you can choose the right fit for the right situation. A sedation protocol should consider patient personality, comorbities, procedure, and preferred recovery time. The specific drugs and amounts used will depend on several factors. The anesthetist creating the plan will have to evaluate the temperament of the patient, the type of procedure being performed, and the coexisting conditions or contraindications each patient may have.
