Effect of metoclopramide on nausea and emesis in dogs premedicated with morphine and dexmedetomidine

Subcutaneous metoclopramide at 0.2 mg kg−1 may reduce IM morphine and dexmedetomidine-induced nausea and emesis if administered 30 minutes in advance. It is effective in reducing lip-licking even when administered concurrently with IM morphine-dexmedetomidine.
