GA or sedation - would depend on dose and how worked up the cat was before administration, and individual response to drugs.

Thanks for the reply, it was another practice using it and we were a bit puzzled as we are now seeing the cat as it didn't have a good reaction

when they attempted to anaesthetise it.

for really highly strung patients or where I didn't get the whole dose in I have used a small amount of IM alfaxan as an adjunct top-up to DKT - works wonders in cats and dogs. wouldn't use DKT before intentionally inducing with alfaxan, though I suppose it could be reasonably done if the DKT doses were low.

D/K/T is a GA in its own right, why would Alfaxan be needed too?

I've used D/T premed and Alfaxan induction.
