Some people have mentioned how their Rabbits appear to be profoundly sedated when given Vetergesic as an analgesic during treatment for gut stasis. Whilst looking for something online I stumbled upon this information :
Drug Interactions
Metoclopramide may affect the absorption of other oral medications including cyclosporine and tetracyclines.
Cholinergic drugs such as bethanechol may increase the effect of metoclopramide on the GI system.
Metoclopramide may increase the CNS-depressant effects of phenothiazine tranquilizers, sedatives, narcotics, barbiturates, antihistamines and anesthetic agents.
Extrapyramidal effects of metoclopramide also may be increased with concurrent use of phenothiazine tranquilizers, narcotics and butyrophenones.
Acute hypotension may occur with IV use of metoclopramide and anesthetic drugs. Hypertension may occur with concurrent use of metoclopramide and MAO inhibitors.
Opiate analgesics, atropine and other anticholinergic drugs may antagonize any effects on GI motility.
