Pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, and hemodynamic effects of trazodone after intravenous and oral administration of a single dose to dogs.

Objective: To determine the pharmacokinetics and hemodynamic effects of trazodone after IV and oral administration in dogs and bioavailability after oral administration.

Animals: 6 adult Beagles.

Procedures: Dogs received trazodone HCl (8 mg/kg) orally and IV in a randomized controlled crossover design.

Ultrasound-guided approach for axillary brachial plexus, femoral nerve, and sciatic nerve blocks in dogs.

Objective: To describe an ultrasound-guided technique and the anatomical basis for three clinically useful nerve blocks in dogs.

Study Design: Prospective experimental trial.

Animals: Four hound-cross dogs aged 2 +/- 0 years (mean +/- SD) weighing 30 +/- 5 kg and four Beagles aged 2 +/- 0 years and weighing 8.
