Comparative Evaluation of the Sedative and Analgesic Effects of Caudal Epidural Administration of Lidocaine Alone or in Combination With Xylazine, Detomidine, Medetomidine, and Dexmedetomidine in Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys.

The present study aimed to compare the sedative and analgesic effects of caudal epidural administration of lidocaine alone or in combination with four different α-adrenergic agonists in Mediterranean miniature donkeys. A total of ten clinically healthy (five males and five females) Mediterranean miniature donkeys with an age of 5 ± 1 years, a weight of 100 ± 2 kg and a height at the withers of 0.8 ± 0.

Evaluation of the sedative and physiological effects of xylazine, detomidine, medetomidine and dexmedetomidine in goats.

Background: Many α -agonists are commonly used for sedation and analgesia in ruminants.

Methods: Ten healthy goats aged 6 ± 1 months and weighing 15 ± 2 kg were used in experimental, crossover Latin square, randomised and blinded study.

Comparative evaluation of sedative and clinical effects of dexmedetomidine and xylazine in dromedary calves (Camelus dromedarius).

Objective: To compare the sedative and clinical effects of intravenous (IV) administration of dexmedetomidine and xylazine in dromedary calves.

Study Design: Experimental, crossover, randomized, blinded study.

Animals: A total of seven healthy male dromedary calves aged 14 ± 2 weeks and weighing 95 ± 5.

Chemical disbudding of goat kids with subcutaneous administration of synthetic eugenol: Histopathology and morphometry.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous administration of synthetic eugenol (EG) for disbudding of goat kids, as a new chemical method. Thirty apparently healthy Raieni (Cashmere) goat kids (five-day-old) were divided randomly into six groups (n = 5). In the pathology (P) groups (P, P and P according to the sample collection day after injection) an amount of 0.

This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of injection of essential oil of Eugenia caryophyllata in the kid horn buds, as a new chemical technique for disbudding. Five-day-old healthy goat kids from both sexes (n = 16) were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. In groups 1, 2 and 3, 0.

Caudal epidural analgesia using lidocaine alone or in combination with ketamine in dromedary camels Camelus dromedarius.

This study was performed to investigate the analgesic effect of lidocaine and a combination of lidocaine and ketamine following epidural administration in dromedary camels. Ten 12-18-month-old camels were randomly divided into two equal groups. In group L, the animals received 2% lidocaine (0.

Haematological and biochemical alterations caused by epidural and intramuscular administration of xylazine hydrochloride in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius).

This study was conducted in 16 healthy immature dromedary camels weighing 120-150 kg to evaluate and compare the effects of epidural and intramuscular injections of xylazine administered at 0.1 mg/kg and 0.2 mg/kg.

Alteration in mononuclear cell subpopulations in dogs immunized with gentamicin-attenuated Leishmania infantum.

The impact of immunization with gentamicin-attenuated Leishmania infantum (H-line) on the immunophenotypic profile of popliteal lymph node (PLN) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of dogs was assessed by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Compared with the dogs infected with L. infantum wild-type (Group WT), there was a significantly higher percentage of CD4+, CD44+ T cells and CD14+, MHC-II+ cells and a lower percentage of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in PLN of the immunized dogs with L.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and physiological effects of epidural injection of ketamine in camels.

Study Design: Randomized prospective study.

Animals: Ten healthy immature male dromedary camels.
