Abstract: We wish to report a case where a skin reaction was observed twice in the same patient and it is suspected that the cause could be intravenous (IV) administration of medetomidine. A two-year-old neutered male Dalmatian was referred to the internal medicine service at the Royal Veterinary College, London, for investigation of inappetance and lethargy of several days duration. During physical examination, mild pyrexia, generalized lymphadenopathy and swelling of carpi, tarsi and interphalangeal joints were noted. Haematology showed a moderate neutrophilia; serum biochemistry and urinalysis results were within normal limits and serological tests for Leishmania, Borrelia, Babesia and Ehrlichia were negative.
