An abrupt balance impairment, including leaning, falling, and rolling, occurred after IV administration of 0.2 mg/kg midazolam as a preanesthetic medication in two geriatric dogs with a history of nystagmus and head tilt. In the second case, leaning, falling, and rolling recurred after recovery from general anesthesia but gradually ceased after IV administration of 0.01 mg/kg flumazenil. These two cases suggest that the IV administration of midazolam was responsible for the balance impairment in dogs who were suspected to have idiopathic peripheral vestibular disease. |
