    Gautam Unny we normally place it with the dog standing and dont force it to ,ie down. exteding the forlimb and making the pet relax is an easy way.

    Swarupmay Majumdar I dislike the idea of sedating and then medicating. May be I am outdated!

    Ajitesh Kumar when the patient does not cooperate. that is the best and smoothest way. otherwise u will create scene in front of the owner. can u suggest me a better way.

    Swarupmay Majumdar all cases do not require catheterization, think mny other avenues like oral medication,im or iv simply.

    Gautam Unny what aneas do you use to sedate. when i use xylazine( only one possible for tricky dogs), the BP falls and cath placement is difficult. ACP is given i/v best. so what sedation is preffered.

    Ajitesh Kumar I give acp along with atropine IM . I use acp as regular preanaesthetic.

    Ajitesh Kumar I think u have deviated from the topic Dr Majumdar. We were discussing how to catheterize? Not why to catheterize?

    Saurabh Saxena well,i wud not use any preanaes. for intravenous drip/cath.placing. u never knw wat it may cause in a dehydrated and immunecompromised patient which requires just sum drips to get back on track..i am looking for a proper method of restraint so the patient do not move during drips .anaes wud only add to complications ..

    Ashwin Nambiar Dr Gautam and Dr Ajitesh, can we use triflupromazine (siquil) instead of Acp?

    Gautam Unny siquil as a single agent is never recommended as it causes excitation and even maniacal signs in animals during recovery. it must preferably be used as a preaneasthetic.
