摘要：
The sedative action and side effects of medetomidine were recorded in five Shami goat kids. Intramuscular injection of medetomidine at 15-mu-g/kg caused recumbency in the kids in 11 +/- 4 min (mean +/- SD). The duration of recumbency and latency to onset of standing were 59 +/- 13 and 17 +/- 15 min, respectively. In the recumbent animals, the major side effects of medetomidine were bradycardia, hypothermia and stasis of the rumen. Other clinical side effects were salivation, bloating, frequent urination, jugular pulsation, mydriasis, polypnea and dyspnea. The side effects of medetomidine disappeared after standing for 1.5-2 h. The results suggested that medetomidine reliably induced sedation and recumbency in goat kids, and the animals recovered from the sedative effect of medetomidine without any apparent adverse effect.
