Chemical Restraint-Reversal with Medetomidine and Atipamezole in Veterinary Small Animal Practice: A Survey on the Opinions of the Dog Owners and Veterinarians

摘要

The opinions of animal owners and practising veterinarians concerning a new restraint-reversal medication (medetomidine-atipamezole) for dogs were obtained by two questionnaires in connection with a clinical study. Four alternative answers to each statement question scored as “completely agree”, “somewhat agree”, “somewhat disagree” and “completely disagree”. The questionnaires were completed by 21 veterinarians and 245 dog owners.
