Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of low-dose subarachnoid injections of 2% lidocaine (LIDO) and 0.5% bupivacaine (BUPI) in goats.
Animals: 6 healthy, privately owned female goats.
Objective: To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of lumbosacral intrathecal administration of 2% lidocaine in goats undergoing cesarean sections (C-sections).
Animals: 7 client-owned goats.
Procedures: Medical records were retrospectively reviewed to identify records of goats undergoing C-sections between January 2020 and November 2021 with intrathecal administration of lidocaine as the primary method of analgesia.
Objective: To compare the perioperative use of analgesics and complication rates in dogs administered an erector spinae plane (ESP) block or a traditional opioid-based (OP) treatment as part of analgesic management during hemilaminectomy.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Animals: Medical records of 114 client-owned dogs.
The clinical outcomes of six free-ranging Florida panthers ( Puma concolor coryi) that underwent surgical stabilization of appendicular long-bone fractures (three femoral fractures, one tibial and one tibial and fibular fracture and two radial and ulnar fractures) were evaluated. These panthers presented to the University of Florida from 2000-2014. Estimated age of the panthers ranged from 0.

Animals: 23 adult sexually intact female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy.
Procedures: Baseline rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate were recorded prior to premedication with buprenorphine (0.
Objective: To determine the effects of diazepam combined with ketamine hydrochloride or propofol for induction of anesthesia (IOA) following premedication with sustained-release buprenorphine hydrochloride (SRB) on intraocular pressure (IOP) in sheep.
Animals: 20 healthy adult sheep.
Procedures: Diazepam with ketamine or propofol was given IV to each of 10 sheep after premedication with SRB (0.

Objective: To determine the accuracy and precision of an oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure device as a predictor of invasive direct blood pressure in healthy anesthetized hypotensive and normotensive dogs.
Design: Prospective observational study.
Setting: University teaching hospital.
Objective: To compare the time to desaturation in healthy dogs that breathed oxygen or room air for 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia.
Animals: 20 healthy dogs.
Procedures: Dogs were sedated with morphine and acepromazine maleate.
Objective: To compare the analgesic effects of buprenorphine, carprofen, and their combination in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy.
Study Design: Prospective, randomized blinded clinical study.
Animals: 60 dogs.
Objective: To compare preoperative administration of meloxicam and butorphanol to perioperative administration of butorphanol alone for control of postoperative signs of pain in dogs.
Animals: 40 client-owned dogs scheduled for surgical repair of a cranial cruciate ligament rupture.
Procedure: Group-1 dogs received butorphanol (0.
Introduction: The human patient simulator has proved to be an effective educational device for teaching physicians and paramedical personnel.
Methodology: To determine whether veterinary medicine students would benefit from similar educational sessions, 90 students each took a turn being the patient's clinician as real-life scenarios were played out on the simulator. The students induced and maintained anesthesia on their patient and monitored vital signs.
