To ensure that analgesia is present immediately on recovery, the product can be administered preoperatively. If additional analgesia is subsequently required, this may be achieved by administration of a further dose of Vetergesic or concomitant use of a suitable injectable NSAID.
An appropriately graduated syringe must be used to allow accurate dosing.
When administered pre-operatively in conjunction with other premedicants, it may be possible to reduce the amount of premedicant, such as acepromazine or medetomidine, and also the amount of inhalational anaesthetic used.
Adverse reactions
Salivation, bradycardia, hypothermia, agitation, dehydration and meiosis can occur in the dog, and rarely hypertension and tachycardia.
Mydriasis and signs of euphoria (excessive purring, pacing, rubbing) commonly occur in cats and will usually resolve within 24 hours.
