The present clinical study was carried out on 12 dogs. These dogs were randomly divided into two groups. Six dogs of each group following premedication Ketamine and Thiopental sodium were used as induction agents. Immediately after induction, the dogs.were intubated and anaesthesia was maintained with inhalation of Isoflurane for castration and ovariohysterectomy procedures. Electro cardiography studies in the dogs of both the groups revealed no abnormalities in the sizes of P, QRS or T- waves, no changes in the cardiac axes and no arrhythmias of any kind in any dog of any of the groups. Both the anaesthetic protocols studied in the present study resulted in minimal, clinically insignificant changes in the electro cardiographic parameters.
