Evaluation of the antiemetic efficacy of maropitant in dogs medicated with morphine and acepromazine

Conclusions and clinical relevanceMaropitant (1 mg kg−1) SC reduced the frequency of morphine‐induced emesis by as much as 70% when administered 30 minutes in advance. Simultaneous administration of maropitant and morphine–acepromazine produced no measurable effect on the frequency of retching or vomiting.
