Evaluation of intravenous administration of meloxicam for perioperative pain management following stifle joint surgery in dogsAmerican Journal of Veterinary Research - Tập 63 Số 11 - Trang 1557-1563 - 2002
Steven C. Budsberg, Alan R. Cross, Jane Quandt, Luisito S. Pablo, Alice R. Runk
AbstractObjective—To compare preoperative administration of meloxicam and
butorphanol to perioperative administration of butorphanol alone for control of
postoperative signs of pain in dogs.Animals—40 client-owned dogs scheduled for
surgical repair of a cranial cruciate ligament rupture.Procedure—Group-1 dogs
received butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg, IV) and meloxicam (0.2 mg/kg, IV) just prior to
surgery.... hiện toàn bộ
Assessing repeatability and validity of a visual analogue scale questionnaire for use in assessing pain and lameness in dogsAmerican Journal of Veterinary Research - Tập 65 Số 12 - Trang 1634-1643 - 2004
Jonathan Thomas Hudson, Margaret R. Slater, Lathrop Taylor, Harriet Scott, Sharon C. Kerwin
AbstractObjective—To develop a visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire that is
repeatable and valid for use in assessing pain and lameness in dogs.Sample
Population—48 client-owned dogs with mild to moderate lameness.Procedure—The
dogs were from 3 studies conducted during a 3-year period. Of the 48 dogs, 19
were used in repeatability assessment, 48 were used in principal component
analysis, and ... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of intravenous administration of ketamine on the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane in anesthetized dogsAmerican Journal of Veterinary Research - Tập 67 Số 1 - Trang 21-25 - 2006
Alberto Solano, Bruno H. Pypendop, Pedro Boscan, Jan E. Ilkiw
Abstract Objective—To determine the effect of 6 plasma ketamine concentrations
on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in dogs. Animals—6
dogs. Procedure—In experiment 1, the MAC of isoflurane was measured in each dog
and the pharmacokinetics of ketamine were determined in isoflurane-anesthetized
dogs after IV administration of a bolus (3 mg/kg) of ketamine. In experiment 2,
the ... hiện toàn bộ
Application of a scaling model to establish and validate an interval level pain scale for assessment of acute pain in dogsAmerican Journal of Veterinary Research - Tập 66 Số 12 - Trang 2154-2166 - 2005
Carolyn Morton, Jacky Reid, EM Scott, Lynne Louise Holton, Andrea M. Nolan
AbstractObjective—To establish interval level measurement in a prototype
composite measure pain scale (CMPS) for assessment of acute pain in dogs and to
investigate the scale's validity.Animals—20 clinically normal dogs, 20 dogs with
medical conditions, and 117 dogs undergoing surgery.Procedure—First, a scaling
model was applied to the CMPS descriptors to establish weights for each and
create a co... hiện toàn bộ
Fungal flora on cutaneous and mucosal surfaces of cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus or feline leukemia virusAmerican Journal of Veterinary Research - Tập 61 Số 2 - Trang 158-161 - 2000
Pascale Sierra, Jacques Guillot, H. Jacob, Simone Bussiéras, René Chermette
AbstractObjective—To compare cutaneous and mucosal mycoflora in cats infected
with FIV or FeLV with that in noninfected cats.Animals—85 client-owned cats; 24
seropositive for FIV, 10 seropositive for FeLV, 1 seropositive for both viruses,
and 50 seronegative for both viruses.Procedure—Cutaneous specimens were obtained
from the coat and external acoustic meatus (ear canal) and mucosal specimens

Effects of dobutamine, norepinephrine, and vasopressin on cardiovascular function in anesthetized neonatal foals with induced hypotensionAmerican Journal of Veterinary Research - Tập 67 Số 10 - Trang 1730-1737 - 2006
Alexander Valverde, Steeve Giguère, L. Chris Sanchez, Andre Shih, Clare A. Ryan
Abstract Objective—To determine the effects of dobutamine, norepinephrine, and
vasopressin on cardiovascular function and gastric mucosal perfusion in
anesthetized foals during isoflurane-induced hypotension. Animals—6 foals that
were 1 to 5 days of age. Procedures—6 foals received 3 vasoactive drugs with at
least 24 hours between treatments. Treatments consisted of dobutamine (4 and 8
μg/kg/min),... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of a lithium dilution cardiac output technique as a method for measurement of cardiac output in anesthetized catsAmerican Journal of Veterinary Research - Tập 66 Số 9 - Trang 1639-1645 - 2005
Kim E. Beaulieu, Carolyn L. Kerr, Wayne N. McDonell
AbstractObjective—To evaluate the use of a lithium dilution cardiac output
(LiDCO) technique for measurement of CO and determine the agreement between
LiDCO and thermodilution CO (TDCO) values in anesthetized cats.Animals—6 mature
cats.Procedure—Cardiac output in isoflurane-anesthetized cats was measured via
each technique. To induce different rates of CO in each cat, anesthesia was
maintained at ... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of lithium dilution cardiac output as a technique for measurement of cardiac output in dogsAmerican Journal of Veterinary Research - Tập 62 Số 8 - Trang 1255-1261 - 2001
Douglas J. Mason, Micheal O'Grady, J. Paul Woods, Wayne N. McDonell
Abstract Objectives—To determine agreement of cardiac output measured by use of
lithium dilution cardiac output (LiDCO) and thermodilution cardiac output (TDCO)
techniques in dogs and to determine agreement of low- and high-dose LiDCO with
TDCO. Animals—10 dogs (7 males, 3 females). Procedure—Cardiac output was
measured in anesthetized dogs by use of LiDCO and TDCO techniques. Four rates of
