Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess whether using table leg covers to wrap the limbs of small dogs can prevent hypothermia during anesthesia for surgery.
- In this randomized study with 60 dogs weighing less than 15 kg, the limb-wrapping group showed a significantly higher rectal temperature at the end of surgery compared to the control group (36.7 °C vs. 35.9 °C) and had a lower incidence of hypothermia (19 out of 30 vs. 28 out of 30 dogs).
- The findings suggest that using inexpensive and easy-to-apply limb-wrapping can effectively maintain body temperature in small dogs during anesthesia, thus minimizing the risk of hyp
