Pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine in a sodium carboxymethylcellulose gel after buccal transmucosal administration in dogs.

Alternatives to intravenous administration of opioids are needed in veterinary medicine. Previous research suggests that opioids can be administered through the buccal mucosa in dogs. This study reports the pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine HCl (0.

Pharmacokinetics of buccal mucosal administration of fentanyl in a carboxymethylcellulose gel compared with IV administration in dogs.

The pharmacokinetics of fentanyl administrated IV (0.01 mg/kg) and in a carboxymethylcellulose gel (0.05 mg/kg) applied to the buccal mucosa of six healthy adult medium- to large-breed dogs was evaluated.

Pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine following intravenous administration in dogs.

Objective: To determine pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine in dogs after i.v. administration.

Marked pleural effusion causing right atrial collapse simulating cardiac tamponade in a dog.

A 16-month-old, female German shepherd dog was presented with severe bicavitary effusions. A diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed by thoracic radiography. An echocardiogram performed prior to surgical repair of the hernia revealed signs of cardiac tamponade, with right atrial collapse, in the absence of pericardial effusion.
