Table 2.

Values of latency time, sedation time and recovery time in 18 felines sedated with the association of dexmedetomidine (7.5 ug/kg) and methadone (0.3 mg/kg) (DMT, n = 9) or dexmedetomidine (5 ug/kg), methadone (0.3 mg/kg), and midazolam (0.3 mg/kg), both intramuscular.

	DMT	DMTM
Latency time (minutes)	7.29 ± 3.18	7.55 ± 1.02
Sedation time (minutes)	29.66 ± 8.98	36.78 ± 9.43
Recovery time (minutes)	2.55 ± 4.42 A	5.55 ± 3.97 B

Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. A, B : different capital letters in the same line represent significant differences between groups (p < 0.05).
