Objective: To compare the NK-1 receptor antagonist maropitant to morphine during and after surgery in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy (OHE).
Methods: 30 healthy female dogs were randomly divided to receive either a pre-anaesthetic dose of morphine (0.5 mg/kg SQ) or maropitant (1 mg/kg, SQ) prior to OHE.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how a continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine affects cardiovascular, respiratory, electrolyte, and acid-base measures during anesthesia in dogs premedicated with the same drug.
- Five adult male Walker Hound dogs were used in a prospective experimental design, involving sedation with dexmedetomidine followed by induction and maintenance of general anesthesia.
- Findings indicated that the infusion had no significant impact on various physiological parameters compared to baseline measurements, suggesting the infusion is safe for maintaining anesthesia.
Objective: To evaluate degree of sedation and cardiovascular, respiratory, acid-base excess, and electrolyte variables in response to IM administration of dexmedetomidine or dexmedetomidine with atropine.
Design: Randomized crossover study. Animals-5 healthy 1- to 2-year-old sexually intact male Treeing Walker Coonhounds.
