An 11-year old male German shepherd dog with previously diagnosed dilated cardiomyopathy
(DCM) presents to your clinic following a dog fight. The dog is significantly aggressive and
resistant to handling. What medication should NOT be used to sedate this patient?
-Dexmedetomidine
-Atropine
-Midazolam
-Butorphanol
-Buprenorphine Dexmedetomidine should only be used in patients with normal cardiac
function as it can cause a significant reduction in cardiac output due to reduced heart rate. It
should be avoided whenever possible in patients that have compromised cardiac function.
Butorphanol and buprenorphine would be better options for sedation as these drugs would not
have as much effect on cardiac output and would provide some pain relief. Midazolam can be
used to sedate the patient via IM administration and, although it would not provide any pain
control, it would allow for safer handling of the patient. Atropine is not a sedative, but an
anticholinergic used most commonly to increase heart rate.
