				Abstract 
 
				
				
				Aim: 
				
				The aim of this study is to find out the effect of propofol and 
				its combination with meperidine and pentazocine lactate on 
				certain clinico-anesthetic profiles in dogs. 
				
				
				Materials and Methods: 
				
				15 apparently healthy mongrel dogs of either sex of about 1 year 
				of age were randomly divided into three groups of five dogs 
				each. The animals of Group I were administered propofol 
				intravenously alone “to effect,” whereas meperidine at 2 mg/kgb.wt. 
				and pentazocine lactate at 2 mg/kg b.wt. were injected 
				intramuscularly 15 min before propofol “to effect” in Groups II 
				and III, respectively. Atropine sulfate at 0.04 mg/kgb.wt. was 
				injected intramuscularly 20 min before each treatment. Rectal 
				temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, and anesthetic 
				indices were recorded before and at 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 min of 
				induction. 
				
				
				Results: 
				
				As compared to Group I, the animals of Groups II and III 
				exhibited a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the level of rectal 
				temperature, respiration rate, and heart rate. Duration of 
				recumbency, time of standing, time of recovery as well as the 
				duration of analgesia were longer in pentazocine lactate (Group 
				III) followed by meperidine (Group II) as compared to propofol 
				alone (Group I). Meperidine treated dogs showed defecation and 
				muscle twitching during anesthesia. 
				
				
				Conclusion: 
				
				Meperidine and pentazocine are suitable opioids used in 
				combination with propofol for achieving surgical anesthesia and 
				helpful in reduction of propofol dose. 
				
				Keywords: 
				
				clinico-anesthetic changes, dog, meperidine, pentazocine,
