Preoperative and postoperative stance analysis in dogs with patellar luxation confirms lameness improvement after surgery.

Objective: To document and compare preoperative and postoperative stance analysis measurements in animals with naturally occurring patellar luxation.

Animals: 131 client-owned dogs surgically treated for naturally occurring unilateral or bilateral patella luxation between March 30, 2015, and February 12, 2020.

Procedures: Weight bearing as a percent body weight on each limb was recorded with the use of a platform device for analyzing stance (PetSafe Stance Analyzer; LiteCure LLC, Companion Animal Health) preoperatively and postoperatively for all dogs.

A three-portal laparoscopic hysterectomy in a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) with a uterine manipulator and vessel sealing device.

Objective: To report the treatment and outcome of a a captive chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) undergoing 3-portal laparoscopic hysterectomy. Additionally, the technique used for successful urinary catheterization is described.

Animals: A 29-year-old female intact chimpanzee with uterine bleeding.

Long-acting injectable methadone (methadone-fluconazole) provides safe and effective postoperative analgesia in a randomized clinical trial for dogs undergoing soft tissue surgery.

Objective: To assess the pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, and adverse effects of injectable methadone with the pharmacokinetic enhancer fluconazole (methadone-fluconazole), compared with the standard formulation of injectable methadone, in dogs after ovariohysterectomy. We hypothesized that 2 doses of methadone-fluconazole would provide 24 hours of postoperative analgesia.

Animals: 3 purpose-bred dogs (pharmacokinetic preliminary study) and 42 female dogs from local shelters (clinical trial) were included.

Laryngeal function in normal dogs administered isoflurane following partial clearance of alfaxalone or propofol.

Objective: To assess laryngeal function in normal dogs administered isoflurane following partial clearance of alfaxalone or propofol.

Study Design: Randomized experimental crossover study.

Animals: A group of 12 purpose-bred, male Beagle dogs.

Perioperative analgesia associated with oral administration of a novel methadone-fluconazole-naltrexone formulation in dogs undergoing routine ovariohysterectomy.

Objective: To determine perioperative analgesia associated with oral administration of a novel methadone-fluconazole-naltrexone formulation in dogs undergoing routine ovariohysterectomy.

Animals: 43 healthy female dogs.

Procedures: Dogs were randomly assigned to receive the methadone-fluconazole-naltrexone formulation at 1 of 2 dosages (0.

Clinical and pharmacokinetic interactions between oral fluconazole and intravenous ketamine and midazolam in dogs.

Objective: To evaluate drug interactions between fluconazole and the intravenous (IV) anesthetic induction agents, ketamine and midazolam.

Study Design: Randomized parallel study.

Animals: A group of 12 adult healthy Beagle dogs.
