Hydromorphone is administered with Acepromazine SQ or IM as pre-med
Ketamine/Midazolam (Diazapam is interchangeable with Midazolam) is administered IV for induction
Meloxicam is administered SQ at prep
One subsequent dose of meloxicam can be given at 0.1mg/kg 24 hours post-op as needed
Certain numbers were rounded for ease of administration for dosing.
Dexamethasone can be substituted for meloxicam in brachycephalic dogs at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg (SQ or IM)
