Cases of intraoperative hyperkalaemia in healthy greyhound dogs under general anaesthesia have previously been reported in veterinary literature. This case report describes the identification and treatment of hyperkalaemia in an otherwise healthy greyhound undergoing general anaesthesia for a...

Objective: To evaluate the heart rate (HR) and systemic arterial pressure (sAP) effects, and propofol induction dose requirements in healthy dogs administered propofol with or without guaifenesin for the induction of anesthesia. Study design: Prospective blinded crossover experimental study....

Lactoferrin, IGF-1 and IgG are three well-known bioactive proteins found in bovine colostrum. We studied the effects of these three active ingredients on the levels of eight cytokines in serum and on the cellular communication networks in vivo by oral administration, intraperitoneal injection and...

Objective: To report a case of rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria following single induction dose of propofol in a dog. Case summary: A 5-year-old intact male Shih-Tzu dog was presented for pigmenturia occurring a few hours following anesthesia for comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment....

Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the effect of an intravenous lipid emulsion in the treatment of cats with alpha-chloralose poisoning.

A 6-month-old, long-haired mixed breed cat was presented at the clinic due to acute shifting leg lameness and generalized pain. The owners reported that there had been no significant improvement following administration of pain relief medication. During the clinical examination multiple swollen and ...

This paper discussed the harmful effects of anaesthetic gasses and how small changes in behaviour can make significant impact on greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions associated with anesthetic gases such as choosing to use lowest impact anesthetic gases, lower fresh gas flows, and reducing anesthetic...

Intravenous lipid emulsions (ILE) have been increasingly used to reverse a wide range of lipophilic drug intoxications. However, it is still unknown if these emulsions interfere with other lipophilic drugs routinely used while treating intoxicated patients, such as diazepam, one of the main...

The ventral midline approach (VMA) and right flank approach (RFA) are common procedures for the sterilization of bitches. This study compared the different parameters viz. total duration of surgery, recovery time, and length of the incision as well as body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, ...

The present study was conducted for clinical evaluation of a multimodal anaesthetic protocol using butorphanol-dexmedetomidine-midazolam-ketamine-isoflurane and lignocaine continuous rate infusion (CRI) in six cross-bred female cattle. Preanaesthetics used were butorphanol and dexmedetomidine which ...
