The sedative and analgesic effects of three dose rates of detomidine(40, 50 and 60 mug/kg body weight) were studied in six goats. Moderateto deep sedation occurred after administration of 40 mug/kg ofdetomidine as compared to deep sedation produced by 50 and 60 mug/kgof detomidine. The degree, onset and duration of sedation and onset andduration of maximum sedation were all dose dependent. Skin analgesiaand recumbence were produced in all animals with higher doses (50 and60 mug/kg) and in three animals with lower dose (40 mug/kg). Durationof recumbency was 22.66 plus minus 1.45, 35.16 plus minus 1.68 and 55.66plus minus 1.64 minutes after administration of 40, 50 and 60 mug/kg ofdetomidine, respectively.
