Abstract

Intramuscular injection of tiletamine–zolazepam and xylazine is commonly used as a preanesthetic for veterinary surgical procedures and for short-term restraint. However, this combination can have marked cardiodepressive and hypothermic effects that persist for hours to days. Here we present a case report of these effects in a swine heart failure model.
