Objective To develop a comprehensive formula for calculating the volume of local anaesthetic solution used for retrobulbar anaesthesia in dogs with different skull morphologies. Study design Retrospective cohort imaging study. Animals Skull computed tomography (CT) images of 188 dogs of different ...

A 5-year 7-month-old, entire, male Chow Chow presented with paraparesis and ataxia due to a previously diagnosed T11-T12 spinal diverticulum. Due to the progression of clinical signs, magnetic resonance imaging was indicated to reassess the lesion. Preoperative rectal temperature was unable to be...

This article covers the post-anaesthesia period considerations for brachycephalic breeds and discusses extubation timing, sedation and patient monitoring. It follows the previous articles on pre-anaesthesia and peri-anaesthetic considerations of these dogs.

This study assessed the influence of 3 different anesthetic protocols based on the quality of anesthesia induction and maintenance in four dog breeds (French Bulldog, n=13; Yorkshire terrier, n=12; Chihuahua, n=10; Bull Terrier, n=10) subjected to cesarean section. Neonatal mortality, birth defects ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of thiopental sodium and ketamine hydrochloride on rectal temperature, pulse and respiratory rates, anaesthetic duration/recovery time indogs during the maintenance of general anaesthesia post-induction with thiopental sodium. Ten apparently healthy...

Case records at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta were reviewed between January, 2012 and December, 2014 to determine the frequency of caesarean sections (CS) performed in dogs. Data recorded include breed and age of dogs, indication for CS and method of ...

Objective: To compare dexmedetomidine with acepromazine for premedication combined with methadone in dogs undergoing brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) surgery. Study design: Randomized, blinded clinical study. Animals: A group of 40 dogs weighing mean (± standard deviation) 10.5 ± 6 ...

Objective: To test a sub-Tenon's anesthesia technique in dogs as an alternative to systemic neuromuscular blockade to aid in canine cataract surgery under general anesthesia. Procedures: A prospective controlled clinical study was performed involving 12 dogs undergoing bilateral cataract surgery...

Objectives: To quantify and explore risk factors in dogs seen at primary care UK veterinary clinics for general anaesthetic (GA)/sedative-related death overall, in addition to neuter-specific procedures. Study design: A nested case-control study within UK primary care veterinary electronic patient...
