Group 1 received loading dose (LD) Xylazine (1mg/kg IV) and Pentobarbitone sodium (Na) (30mg/kg IV) [LD-XP] prior to digital amputation (DA).Group 2 received LD-XP andXylazine (1mg/kg/hr) by constant rate infusion (CRI IV) prior to DA. Group 3 received LD Xylazine (1mg/kg IV), Pentobarbitone Na (30mg/kg IV), CRI Xylazine (1mg/kg/hr) and Tramadol (1mg/kg/hr) prior to DA. Group 4 received LD-XP, CRI Xylazine (1mg/kg/hr) and CRI Pentazocine (1mg/kg/hr) prior to DA.
