The increasing number of obese patients in need of veterinary care means it’s wise to ask what adjustments should be made in medication dosing, especially anesthetic agents. This study compares induction doses of propofol in obese dogs based on total body weight versus lean body weight with the goal of developing safer strategies for anesthesia administration in overweight pets.

Read on to learn about the benefits of tailoring anesthesia doses to your patients’ unique needs.

Chemotherapy may need to be adjusted or even discontinued if it induces diarrhea. Could smectite help keep chemotherapy patients on course?
