Butorphanol tartrate was administered intramuscularly and subcutaneously to adult male and female dogs at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg. No significant absorption lag time and no significant difference bwtween peak intramuscular and subcutaneous serum concentrations were observed. The mean peak serum concentration was 29 ng/ml at mean times of 28 min after subcutaneous administration and 40 min after intramuscular administration. There were no significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of butorphanol in dogs with either route. The serum half-life was 1.62 hr, and the serum clearance was 3.45 liters/kg/hr. The apparent volume of distribution of butorphanol was 7.96 liters/kg. Although considerable inter- and intraanimal variation in Cmax and AUC was observed, there was no significant difference in the area under the serum concentration versus time curves, and the two administration routes were considered bioequivalent.

Does perioperative electroacupuncture reduce postoperative pain in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy?
Front Vet Sci
January 2025
Department for Clinical Diagnostics and Services, Section of Anaesthesiology, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of perioperative electroacupuncture in fifty-six healthy female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy as part of a catch-neuter-release project.
Materials And Methods: Ten minutes after sedation with 20 μg/kg medetomidine combined with 0.3 mg/kg butorphanol intramuscularly, the dogs were randomly allocated into two groups and received either electroacupuncture (EA, = 27) or sham acupuncture (C, = 29) treatment for 10 min (after sedation until the end of the surgery) at 6 different acupuncture points LI-4 (Large intestine 4), LIV-3 (Liver 3), ST-36 (Stomach 36), SP-6 (Spleen 6) bilateral.
The sedative effect of intravenous butorphanol in dogs with intracranial space occupying lesions or indicators of intracranial hypertension.
Vet Anaesth Analg

Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists, Alton, Hampshire, UK.
Objective: To determine whether dogs with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-determined intracranial space occupying lesions (MRI-iSOLs) or intracranial hypertension (MRI-ICH) had greater sedation scores and quicker onset of recumbency following premedication with intravenous (IV) butorphanol in comparison with dogs which had normal MRI findings.
Study Design: Prospective, observational study.
Animals: A total of 53 dogs presenting for brain MRI were included.
Comparison Between Medetomidine and a Medetomidine-Vatinoxan Combination on Cardiorespiratory Variables in Dogs Undergoing Ovariectomy Anesthetized with Butorphanol, Propofol and Sevoflurane or Desflurane.

Article Synopsis
- * Dogs receiving the medetomidine-vatinoxan experienced lower mean arterial pressures (MAP) that stabilized at 102-104 mmHg, while those on medetomidine alone had significantly higher MAPs of 143-126 mmHg.
- * Heart rate (HR) remained stable in the medetomidine-vatinoxan group, whereas it dropped significantly in the medetomidine group, suggesting that vatinoxan could be beneficial in preventing bradycardia and managing systemic pressure during anesthesia in dogs.

Advancements in understanding pain physiopathology have historically challenged animals' absence of pain senses. Studies have demonstrated that animals have comparable neural pain pathways, suggesting that cats and dogs likely experience pain similarly to humans. Understanding brain circuits for effective pain control has been crucial to adjusting pain management to the patient's individual responses and current condition.

The objectives of this prospective, randomized, blinded, crossover, experimental study were to detect the potential anaesthetic- and analgesic-sparing effects of classical music provided to dogs undergoing skin surgery, and to investigate the role of substance P as an intraoperative pain indicator. Twenty dogs were included, each subjected to three different treatments: Chopin music, Mozart music and no music. They were premedicated with acepromazine, butorphanol and meloxicam and anaesthetized with propofol and isoflurane.
