BACKGROUND Propofol is a widely used injectable anesthetic agent for induction and short-term maintenance in dogs. A multi-dose formulation of propofol (MDP) has been developed which includes 2% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. In order to document the use of the product under clinical conditions, MDP was tested in a prospective clinical trial conducted at six sites within the United States. O...

The study was conducted in twelve clinical cases of horses undergoing diagnostic and surgical procedures warranting general anaesthesia. The cases were randomly divided into two groups: group I and group II, each consisting of six horses. Preanaesthetic medication done with Xylazine hydrochloride @ 0.5mg/kg and Acepromazine maleate @0.03 mg/kg body weight in both the groups. Ketamine @ 2.20 mg/...

Abstract A 615 kg, 20‐year‐old, male, neutered Dutch warmblood horse was admitted for complete removal of incisor teeth under sedation. The sedated with intramuscular acepromazine (0.1 mg/kg) and several intravenous detomidine boli (total dose 0.008 mg/kg), followed by constant rate infusion. At the beginning surgery (47 minutes after starting sedation), retched coughed out haemorrhagic fluid. ...

BACKGROUND Vomiting is a common complication associated with the use of hydromorphine for pre-emptive analgesia in dogs. The ideal anti-emetic protocol for prevention of this complication has not been established. HYPOTHESIS Maropitant administered concurrently or before hydromorphone would reduce the incidence of vomiting, signs of nausea, ptyalism, and increased panting compared to administ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the applicability of rebound tonometry for measurement of IOP in the mouse eye. METHODS An induction-impact (I/I) tonometer, which operates on the rebound principle, was scaled down and adapted to determine IOP of the mouse eye. IOP measurement using this concept is based on contacting the eye with a probe and detecting the motion as the probe collides with the eye and bou...
