| Abstract | ||||
| Tonometery of 23 goats with clinically normal eyes were recorded, with Schiotz tonometer, using only topical corneal anaesthesia. 16 goats served as the source for two groups (10 and 6 goats), and the procedure was repeated using xylazine in group I and xylazine ketamine in group II. The average of normal intraocular pressure (IOP) in goats was 36.2 mmHg with a standard deviation of 1.99. Xylazine reduce the 10P till 10.00 mmHg at the lowest value, 20 minutes after administration. Ketamine elevate the IOP, in spite of previous injection of xylazine. The latter was recommended for anaesthesia in goats for intraocular surgery. | ||||
