The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavioural, clinical and analgesic effects of epidural neostigmine in adult dairy cattle. Five healthy, adult Holstein-Friesian dairy cows received five different treatments in a cross-over design with one-week washout period as follows: 2% lidocaine alone ...

Background: Local circulatory disturbances have been implicated in the development of foot disorders in cattle. The goals of this study were to evaluate the suitability of the interdigital artery in the pastern region in both hind limbs using pulsed-wave (PW) Doppler ultrasonography and to...

Animals: Eight healthy, adult, lactating Holstein-Friesian cows. Methods: Cows were restrained with the head and neck extended by using halters, head...

In the study, in standing cows that underwent abomasal displacement surgery, with the modified dorsolumbar epidural anesthesia, it was aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of both α2-agonists xylazine and dexmedetomidine. In the study two groups were created (n=12). The epidural anesthesia of ...

The objectives of this study were to describe the clinical, behavioral, hematological and serum biochemical effects of neostigmine following subcutaneous and intramuscular administration to normal dairy cows. A total of 8 normal, non-pregnant dairy cows were used in 2 experiments with 1 week rest...

A well-differentiated invasive ocular squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) localized in the conjunctiva and medial peribulbar region, including the third eyelid, was diagnosed in the left eye of a 5-year-old Holstein cow causing ocular pain.

Sedation and restraint of cattle are everyday procedures in bovine practice. It is so routinely performed that all practitioners develop their own habits over time. The necessity of deep sedation or general anesthesia may be rarer, and requires more monitoring during the induced loss of...

The minimum soft tissue covering of the distal long bones of bovine limbs makes them particularly vulnerable to traumatic injury, which can result in infection and even formation of a bone sequestrum. This case report describes the clinical, sonographic and radiographic findings, surgical treatment ...
