Echocardiographic and Doppler echocardiographic findings in 11 wolves ( Canis lupus)
Two‐dimensional real‐time, M‐mode and Doppler echocardiographic measurements were made in 11 adult wolves ( Canis lupus ) anaesthetised with an intramuscular combination of medetomidine, ketamine, butorphanol and acepromazine followed by isoflurane in oxygen. M‐mode measurements of the left ventricl...
