ABSTRACT
Sharma YK, Pandey SS,
Pandey SK, Epidural buprenorphine with bupivacaine, xylazine or ketamine
in dogs, Onl J Vet Res., 28(6): 327-333, 2024. Six dogs were given 0.04 mg/kg IM atropine sulphate 20 min before epidural injection of 0.05 mg/kg buprenorphine
with 1 mg/kg bupivacaine, 0.75 mg/kg xylazine and 3
mg/kg ketamine. Mean induction time was 2.40 ± 0.15, 2.72 ± 0.19 and 3.65 ±
0.30 min respectively. There were no differences for onset of analgesia between
bupivacaine and xylazine but ketamine delayed it ~34%
(P<0.05). Ketamine prolonged anesthesia ~38% (P<0.05). Bupivacaine and xylazine reduced pulse and heart rates 15-17% whereas
ketamine boosted them ~17% (P<0.05). Buvicaine, xylazine and ketamine reduced respiratory rates 42, 40 and
30% and rectal temperatures 3, 2 and 4% (P < 0.05).
Key-words: Epidural,
buprenorphine, bupivacaine, xylazine, ketamine, dogs.
