2020, Veterinary Anaesthesia and AnalgesiaCitation Excerpt :RT was unchanged over 45 minutes in both treatments. This is in contrast with previous findings revealing a minor decrease in RT attributed to depression of noradrenergic receptors in the hypothalamus following medetomidine and tramadol administration (Cullen 1996; Cardoso et al. 2014). The effect of medetomidine on RT is dose-dependent (Cullen 1996), and the low dose used in this study may explain why there was no significant change in the temperature.
