The general appearance of the innervation of samples of skin from 10 young beagles was studied by using the pan-neuronal immunolabel PGP9.5, and quantitative data on the density of the nerve fibres was obtained. The data provide a baseline for the development of a diagnostic test for small fibre neuropathy in domestic dogs.

The aim of the study was to present a review of the literature and research on the carotid body (CB) over the past years and update the latest findings. The purpose of this article is to present a general overview and comparative analysis of CB between species, from the microanatomy to the pathology of CB. This study gives information about the embryological development and physiological aspects of anatomical findings and their differences.

This article provides an overview of the neuroanatomy of the head with a detailed explanation and visual images to enable accurate placement of loco-regional nerve blocks to achieve pre-emptive blockade of the nociceptive input which occurs when performing oral surgery. Variations in anatomy and between species are addressed to assist in accurate placement.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different approaches for administering quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in dogs undergoing laparoscopic ovariectomy, focusing on pain control during surgery.
- A total of 15 female dogs were randomly assigned to either a lateral or latero-ventral approach for the QLB, with pain management strategies monitored throughout the procedure.
- Results indicated that the lateral approach significantly reduced the need for additional pain relief during surgery compared to the latero-ventral approach, while all dogs had similar postoperative pain scores.

Blockage of the dorsal rami of the spinal nerves (DRSN) provides analgesia to the epaxial musculature area in dogs. However, techniques to block the DRSN at the cervical level in dogs haven't yet been investigated. This study aimed to study the anatomy of the cervical area, and to describe a new ultrasound (US)-guided inter-transversospinalis plane (ITP) block technique at the 5th cervical vertebrae (C5).

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the pelvic plexus and its regulation across various mammalian species, including rats, cats, dogs, and pigs. The pelvic and hypogastric nerves play crucial roles in regulating pelvic functions such as micturition, defecation, and erection. The anatomical organization of these nerves varies, forming either well-defined ganglia or complex plexuses.
