Studies on canine pregnancy using B‐mode ultrasound: Development of the conceptus and determination of gestational age
Tập 31 Số 7 - Trang 324-329 - 1990
ABSTRACTDevelopment of the conceptus was characterised using B‐mode ultrasound
in a standard size of dog (labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and their
crosses; weight range 22 to 30 kg). Growth curves were established for various
measurements of the conceptuses. Regression equations allowed the prediction of
the expected time of parturition. Multiple regression analysis of two
measurements (bi...

showed ...
Relationship between physiological factors and clinical pain in dogs scored using a numerical rating scale
Tập 39 Số 10 - Trang 469-474 - 1998
A study was designed to investigate the association between heart rate,
respiratory rate and pupil dilation and a subjective pain score allocated using
a numerical rating scale (NRS). Four groups of dogs (n = 17 to 20 per group)
were included: orthopaedic surgery cases, soft tissue surgery cases, dogs with
medical conditions and healthy dogs. Each dog was examined by five veterinary
surgeons withi...

mastectomy, followed by a six‐hour constant rate infusion (CRI), improved
postoperative opioid analgesia and feeding behaviour. Methods: The bitches were
randomised into three groups: the placebo group received 0·09 ml/kg isotonic
saline intravenously followed by a six‐hour CRI of 0·5 ml/kg/hour, the low‐dose
ketamine rec...

assesses the weight of available evidence, outlines the physiology of the
vomiting reflex, causes of emesis, the consequences of emesis and the approach
to clinical management...

disease for which no underlying cause could be identified were considered to
have idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease and were included in the study. Serum
tumo...
