  1. 1. Can be seen post-induction in patients induced with propofol due to its depressive effects on the respiratory system.
  2. 3. A drug with minimal CV and respiratory effects, which can cause excitement rather than sedation. Often touted for its muscle relaxation.
  3. 4. A breed particularly prone to syncope from acepromazine.
  4. 7. Analgesic drug which cannot be given to cats
  5. 10. Local anaesthetic drug which should NEVER be given IM - will cause bradycardia and cardiac arrest
  6. 12. Guinea pigs, rabbits and rats may be familiar with this drug. It is a dopamine receptor antagonist and can be given intraperitoneal.
  7. 13. Local anaesthetic drug used in ALL species (equine, farm animals and small animals)
  8. 14. This is an effect on patient cardiac systems which is seen with alpha-2-agonist usage.
  9. 15. Opioid which CANNOT be given IM, and has a very short duration IV (20 minutes)
  10. 16. Potential side effect of paracetamol which effects RBCs directly

  1. 2. Used in pigs, this neuroleptic drug is used as a pre-med IM.
  2. 4. Opioid that antagonises mu and agonises kappa (and thus has poor analgesic properties but good sedative ones)
  3. 5. NMDA antagonist which is used for analgesia and as an anaesthetic. Can cause hyperexcitability.
  4. 6. This alpha-2-agonist is used in equids and has an IV onset of 3-5 minutes and a duration of 45-60 minutes.
  5. 8. Only drug group which provides analgesia, sedation AND muscle relaxation
  6. 9. Side effect on the vasculature of the patient from usage of butyrophenones.
  7. 11. Used to antagonise alpha-2-agonists.
  8. 17. This drug is often used hours before a procedure in equids to cause muscle relaxation and mild sedation.
