Abstract
The use of the non-depolarizing muscle relaxant vecuronium bromide is described in 21 dogs undergoing a variety of surgical procedures under general anaesthesia. An initial dose of 0.1 mg kg-1 proved effective and produced an initial block of 25 minutes duration. Incremental doses of 0.04 mg kg-1 were used and up to six increments were shown to be non-cumulative. No untoward side-effects were observed with the use of this drug in the dog.
