Abstract | The study was conducted in 12 clinically healthy nondescript bitches to investigate the postoperative behaviour assessing postoperative pain in dogs after elective ovariohysterectomy. The dogs recovering from ovariohysterectomy were approached to record the postoperative behaviour. Sedation score and pain score were measured using postoperative behaviours. Surgery resulted in an increasing pain score, sedation score and time spent sleeping. During interaction, greeting behaviour and overall activity were decreased after surgery.The purpose of the study was to establish a behaviour based scale for evaluation of post operative pain in dogs recovering from elective surgery. | |

Abstract | The study to evaluate preoperative dextrose infusion in alleviating the stress and to promote healing and postoperative recovery, was conducted in 12 clinically healthy non-descript bitches presented for panhysterectomy. The animals were divided into two groups (Group I and Group II) consisting of six each. In Group I panhysterectomy was performed under genereal anaesthesia after overnight fasting and in Group II, panhysterectomy was performed under general anaesthesia after overnight fasting and administration of 12.5% dextrose @ 5 ml/kg i.v. two hours prior to induction of anaesthesia. Plasma cortisol and glucose concentrations were estimated before surgery, immediately after surgery and 24 hours post operatively. A significant (P<0.05) reduction in stress in the immediate postoperative period was noted in animals infused with dextrose, as indicated by lowered elevation of glucose and cortisol levels, and early anaesthetic recovery. The favourable outcome of this study recommends preoperative dextrose infusion for elective surgery as a protocol in future practice in animal surgery | |

Abstract | The efficacy of replacing stainless steel connecting bar in External Skeletal Fixator (ESF) with acrylic connecting bar was evaluated by using acrylic connecting bar in 12 clinical case of complete fracture of long bones in dogs. Type IA pg Type II acrylic fixators were applied to the fracture fragments by closed or open approach under general anaesthesia. Early return of functional limb usage following fixation with acrylic ESF was achieved. Loosening of the proximal most pin occurred by fourth week of observation in four cases, where Type I acrylic fixator was used, but none of the affected the fracture healing markedly. Breakage of acrylic bar occurred in cone case with loss of fracture reduction and damage to the acrylic bar occurred in two cases due to mutilation. Mild to moderate degrees of mal-alignment between fragments that occurred following application of acrylic fixator in four cases got nullified with progressive callus formation and resulted in restoration of normal straight line alignment of the bone. Marked angulations of the bone fragments occurred in two cases but did not affect limb usage. The fracture gap in all the cases was found to be progressively getting filled up with callus. In 50% cases the fracture healed with endosteal callus only, while it healed with endosteal and periosteal callus in rest of the animals. Periosteal reaction of varying degree occurred in most of the cases, but did not affect fracture healing or functional limb usage. Osteolysis was noticed around proximal pin tract in four animals. Acrylic external fixator proved to be an economical, technically feasible, clinically successful and reliable alternative for stainless steel external fixators for the immobilization of fractures of radius-ulna and tibia-fibula in animals of less the 15 kg body weight. In heavier animals, usage of acrylic bar on one side of the type II fixator gave adequate stability in case of radial fractures but not for tibial fractures | |

Abstract | The efficacy of collagen sheet of bovine intestinal origin in the healing of corneal ulcer complicated with staphyloma was studied in six dogs.Surgical manipulations were performed under general anaesthesia and collagen sheet was placed after scarification and or superficial keratectomy.Temporary tarsorrhaphy was performed in all the dogs .Oral administration of cephalexin was maintained in all the cases. Ocular instillation of ciprofloxacin as primary antibiotic or based on the culture and sensitivity test and Flurbiprofen were administered till complete healing. Collagen sheet of intestinal origin were completely dissolved by third day and no remnants were present . It was well tolerated by the dogs and no immune reactions were noticed. Fluorescein dye test became negative by 7th day in most of the dogs treated with collagen sheet and complete epithelisation of the corneal defects had occurred by the time. Corneal vascularisation developed were resolved by the end of the observation period. Complete reconstruction of the cornea was seen early in all the dogs. In stromal ulcers the clarity was achieved by 60th day. Corneal pigmentation was the major complication encountered . |
