All drugs need to be stored and handled so that they are safe for the patient,
client, and veterinary staff. When handling drugs that are concidered
cytotoxic or hazardous, personal protective apparel (PPA) should be worn.
With which of the following drugs is it imperative to pay special attention to
safe handling?
-Ascorbic Acid
-Metoclopramide
-Sucralfate
-Vincristine
-Metronidazole
✓ Vincristine is a chemotheraputic agent and PPA including gloves,
gowns, and a face shield should be worn when using this drug.
Ascorbic acid is Vitamin C and probably poses minimal risk when
handling. Metronidazole and sucralfate are not hazardous via
handling.

An 11-year old male German shepherd dog with previously diagnosed
dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) presents to your clinic following a dog fight.
The dog is significantly aggressive and resistant to handling. What medication
should NOT be used to sedate this patient?
-Dexmedetomidine
-Atropine
-Midazolam
-Butorphanol
-Buprenorphine
✓ Dexmedetomidine should only be used in patients with normal cardiac
function as it can cause a significant reduction in cardiac output due
to reduced heart rate. It should be avoided whenever possible in
patients that have compromised cardiac function. Butorphanol and
buprenorphine would be better options for sedation as these drugs
would not have as much effect on cardiac output and would provide
some pain relief. Midazolam can be used to sedate the patient via IM
administration and, although it would not provide any pain control, it
would allow for safer handling of the patient. Atropine is not a sedative,
but an anticholinergic used most commonly to increase heart rate.
