Electroencephalographic features of the developing brain in 72 dogs under xylazine sedation: a visual and statistical analysis.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a neurophysiological test, which is widely used in human medicine for epilepsy diagnosis and other neurological disorders. For an adequate interpretation, it is necessary to know the electroencephalogram features for different stages of development. Despite the growing interest in its implementation in veterinary medicine, standardized descriptions of the EEG features of the different stages of brain development in dogs are restricted to studies with limited number of dogs and limited age groups.

Description of a novel ultrasound-guided approach for a dorsal quadratus lumborum block: a canine cadaver study.

Objective: To describe an ultrasound-guided approach to the dorsal aspect of the quadratus lumborum muscle (D-QL) and to evaluate the spread of methylene blue dye in canine cadavers.

Study Design: Prospective, experimental anatomical study.

Animals: A total of 12 canine cadavers.
