Description Adult dogs (32) of either sex, divided into 2 groups were used for evaluation of anesthetic efficacy of xylazine (1mg/ kg IV) and dexmedetomidine (375µg/m2 IV) in atropine-butorphanol premedicated and ketamine (till effect IV) induced dogs which were further maintained on halothane. Clinical parameters and reflexes (induction dose, intubation time, jaw relaxation, pedal, palpebral and photo-pupillary) were measured at baseline (pre-operative), just after induction and at 5, 15, 30 and 45 min after the start of halothane. Similarly, haemato-biochemical parameters were measured at baseline (pre-operative), intraoperative and postoperative phase along with recovery parameters. On comparative basis, induction dose of ketamine was 3.7 and 2.9 mg/kg body weight and intubation time 81.29±6.22 and 45.87±3.95 sec in group BXK and BDK groups respectively. Uniform and pronounced muscle relaxation along with excellent sedation was found in both the groups. All haemato-biochemical parameters remained within normal range except hyperglycaemia was observed during late phase in both groups. Mean vaporizer concentration of halothane was 2 and 1.26% in BXK and BDK group respectively. Following discontinuation of the halothane, all the recovery times of BDK group took significantly lesser time than group BXK along with superior quality of recovery.
