🧬 Genetic Drug Sensitivities
🔴 CYP2B11 (Reduced hepatic metabolism)
Prevalence: Unknown
Sighthound anesthetic sensitivity. Reduce induction dose by 25-50%.
REDUCE DOSEPropofol
🏥 Anesthesia Considerations
⚠ Sighthound Anesthetic Sensitivity
Low body fat → prolonged recovery from lipid-soluble agents (thiopental, propofol). Reduce induction doses 25-50%. Use lean-body-mass dosing. CYP2B11 deficiency in Greyhounds = slow barbiturate/propofol metabolism. Prefer alfaxalone for induction. Extended post-anesthetic monitoring required.
