Abstract

A total of 18 clinical cases of apparently healthy cats of either sex, weighing between 2–5 Kgs were utilized for the present study. These cats were randomly divided into three groups consisting of 6 cats in each group. A clear solution of propofol was administered by intravenous route slowly over a period of 60 – 70 seconds at the dose rates of 9, 10 and 11 mg/Kg body weight in the cats of group I, II and III respectively. Effect of clear solution of propofol on blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose, Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase, Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, blood urea nitrogen and Creatinine was studied.
