The association of levomepromazine and tiletamine/zolazepam was used as anesthetic in 67 surgeries in dogs. The surgical procedures were thoracotomy, wound sutures, intraabdominal surgeries, ocular globe enucleations, orthopedics, tumor extirpations and vaginal mucous ressection. Levomepromazine was administered as tranquilizer 1 mg/kg intravenous. After 10 minutes tiletamine/zolazepam 2mg/kg IV was used for induction. During transoperative period, tiletamine/zolazepam 1 mg/kg IV was administered repeatedly for maintenance of the effect. Clinical and ventilometric evaluation shows that the association could be used in anesthetic routine in dogs.
