Epidural anesthesia is commonly administered as part of balanced anesthesia for perioperative analgesia. The main goal of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the efficacy of two epidural approaches in dogs undergoing surgery for a perineal hernia. A secondary aim was to compare motor blockade.

Study Design: A randomized, controlled, blinded, clinical trial.
Animals: A total of 28 client-owned dogs.
Background: Gastric carcinoma (GC) is uncommon in dogs, except in predisposed breeds such as Belgian Shepherd dogs (BSD) of the Tervuren and Groenendael varieties. When GC is diagnosed in dogs it is often late in the disease, resulting in a poorer prognosis. The aim of this prospective clinical study was to investigate possible associations of gastric mucosal pathologies with clinical signs, laboratory test results and GC in BSD.

- The study aimed to assess the feasibility of performing gastroduodenoscopy in dogs premedicated with either butorphanol or methadone, combined with acepromazine.
- A total of 40 dogs were involved in a clinical trial design where they received different combinations of medications before undergoing the procedure while their cardiopulmonary status was monitored.
- Results showed that all procedures were successful with no significant differences in feasibility or cardiovascular stability between the two medication groups, confirming their noninferiority.
