Abstract

Visual evoked potentials (VEP) in response to flashes of white light were recorded from 15 adult beagles of both sexes to provide a normative data base. Separate recordings were taken by stimulating each eye of every dog. Responses were recorded from a needle electrode placed over the nuchal crest referenced to an electrode just caudal to the eyes. Five positive and negative peaks were present in each VEP; P1, N1, P2, N2, and P3. Peak P2 was the most prominent. Mean (± standard deviation (SD]) latencies for peaks P1, N1, P2, N2, and P3 were 14.3 ± 2.4, 29.2 ± 2.2, 54.5 ± 7.4, 78.0 ± 13.1, and 98.1 ± 12.6 msec, respectively. Peak‐to‐peak mean amplitudes ranged from 5.88 to 13.30 μV. Recordings were accomplished without sedation, anesthesia, or mydriatic drugs.
