Abstract
The efficacy of metoclopramide on medetomidine induced vomiting was estimated. Vomiting was induced in 60% of dogs after intramuscular administration of medetomidine (40μg/kg) with a mean repetition of 1.6 times. The intramuscular premedication of metoclopramide (0.4mg/kg) reduced the incidence of vomiting (33.3%) with a mean repetition of only one time after administration of medetomidine.
