At the heart of this treatment, survival of a very old dog is the only issue. I gave this dog the antidote, Antisedan 0.1 ml IM to reverse the dose of Domitor. 

Normal young 10-kg dog, l give Domitor 0.4 ml + Ketamine 0.5 ml IV and this dosage is safe and duration of anaesthesia lasts around 20 minutes - sufficient for a spay without the need to top up with isoflurane gas. For this 17-year-old, I calculated the dosage and then inject just 25% of the calculated dose. Yet this old dog would not wake up at the end of anesthesia unlike a young dog who will stand up.   

With this Antisedan, you can see the old dog waking up.
