Effects of Medetomidine-Ketofol Anaesthesia on Clinico-Physiological and Haemato-Biochemical Parameters in Goats

Effects of the combination of ketamine and medetomidine anaesthesia on haematological parameters in Sahel goats

The effects of the combination of ketamine and medetomidine intravenous (IV) anaesthesia on haematological parameters were evaluated in six sahel goats comprising of 5 females and 1 male with mean body weight of 19 ± 1.4kg. Each goat was given a recommended dose of the drugs combination: medetomidine at 0.01mg/kg and ketamine at 5mg/kg body weight IV. Pre injection blood samples were obtained a...

Physiologic and biochemical effects of subarachnoidally administered xylazine and medetomidine in goats.

Clinicophysiological, haematological and biochemical effects of xylazine (0.05mgkg(-1)) and medetomidine (0.01mgkg(-1)) were studied in nine adult goats after lumbosacral subarachnoid administration. The onset of analgesia by xylazine and medetomidine was observed in 9.11+/-1.07 and 8.66+/-2.37min (mean+/-S.E.), respectively. Both alpha(2)-agonists produced moderate analgesia of hind quarter, p...

Anaesthesia of Wild Carnivores and Primates Physiological Effects and Reversibility of Medetomidine and Dissociative Anaesthetics

Study on Haemato-Biochemical profile in Goats suffering from Gastrointestinal Parasitism in Jaipur district of Rajasthan

This cross sectional study aims at determining the effect of gastrointestinal (GI) parasitism on haematological and biochemical parameters in goat. From Jaipur District of Rajasthan, 39 goats of either sex were screened by Direct Smear Method and simple floatation technique for the presence of helminthes eggs in their faeces. The goat found positive for eggs of helminthes eggs were again subjec...

Repeated anaesthesia with isoflurane and medetomidine-midazolam-fentanyl in guinea pigs and its influence on physiological parameters

Repeated anaesthesia may be required in experimental protocols and in daily veterinary practice, but anaesthesia is known to alter physiological parameters in GPs (Cavia porcellus, GPs). This study investigated the effects of repeated anaesthesia with either medetomidine-midazolam-fentanyl (MMF) or isoflurane (Iso) on physiological parameters in the GP. Twelve GPs were repeatedly administered w...
