ArticleItem Open Access Comparative Studies on Preemptive Meloxicam, Ketoprofen, Tolfenamic Acid and Flunixin for Managing Postoperative Pain in Dogs(Indian Veterinary Association, Chennai, 2019-05) Manikandan, R.; Jayakumar, K.; Senthilkumar, S.; Selvaraj, P.; Dharmaceelan, S.; TANUVASThe aim of the study was to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of meloxicam, ketoprofen, tolfenamic acid and flunixin following soft tissue surgery. The study was conducted in 24 clinical cases of dogs and were randomly divided into four groups viz., group I, II, III and IV. Meloxicam, Ketoprofen, Tolfenamic acid and Flunixin were administered at the dose rates of 0.2, 2.0, 4.0 and 1.0 mg per kg body weight intravenously, in group I, II, III and IV animals, respectively. After 15 minutes, Midazolam was administered at the dose rate of 0.3 mg per kg body weight intravenously, to all the animals. General anaesthesia was induced with Propofol at the dose rate of 6 mg/kg body weight in all the animals intravenously, and maintained with Isoflurane. Ovariohysterectomy (OHE) was performed in all the animals as per the standard technique. The postoperative analgesic effect was studied by visual analogue score at various time interval of postoperative period. Meloxicam provided better postoperative analgesia up to 12 h of surgery and not produced significant adverse effect in all the animals. It could be safely used as a preemptive analgesic in midazolam-propofol-isoflurane anaesthesia for ovariohysterectomy in dogs.ArticleItem Open Access Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory (NSAIDs) Drugs on Cardiopulmonary Functions During General Anaesthetic Protocol in Dogs(Indian Veterinary Association, Chennai, 2019-05) Manikandan, R.; Dharmaceelan, S.; Jayakumar, K.; Senthilkumar, S.; Selvaraj, P.; TANUVASA clinical study was conducted in 24 dogs to compare the cardiopulmonary and isoflurane sparing effects on inclusion of meloxicam, ketoprofen, tolfenamic acid and flunixin in general anaesthetic protocol of dogs. Meloxicam, ketoprofen, tolfenamic acid and flunixin were administered @ 0.2, 2.0, 4.0 and 1.0 mg per kg i.v.in group I, II, III and IV animals, respectively. Midazolam was administered @ 0.3 mg per kg i.v. to all the animals. General anaesthesia was induced with propofol @ 6 mg/kg i.v. in all the animals and maintained with isoflurane. Ovariohysterectomy (OHE) was performed as per the standard technique. The tidal volume (VT), minute volume (VE), saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and electrocardiography (ECG) were recorded. Fraction of inspired-oxygen, end-tidal oxygen, fraction of inspired-carbon dioxide, end-tidal carbon dioxide, fraction of inspired-isoflurane and end-tidal isoflurane concentration were also recorded continuously during maintenance of anaesthesia. The postoperative analgesic efficacy of meloxicam and ketoprofen was found superior than tolfenamic acid and flunixin. No major alterations in cardiopulmonary functions were noticed by the inclusion of NSAIDs in the anaesthetic protocol of dogs. Meloxicam had a significant isoflurane sparing effect than other drugs.ThesisItem Open Access PREEMPTIVE MELOXICAM, KETOPROFEN, TOLFENAMIC ACID AND FLUNIXIN FOR MANAGING POSTOPERTIVE PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH SOFT TISSUE SURGERY IN DOGS(TANUVAS, Namakkal, 2015) Manikandan, R.; TANUVAS; TANUVAS; TANUVAS; Jayakumar, K.; Kumar, S. SenthilThe study was conducted in 24 clinical cases of dogs presented for ovariohysterectomy under general anaesthesia. The animals were randomly divided into four groups viz., group I, II, m and IV consisting of six animals each.OtherItem Open Access Surgical Correction of Intestinal Intussusception in a Goat(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2014-07) Manikandan, R.; Jayakumar, K.; Senthilkumar, S.; TANUVASAn eight month old male non descriptive goat was presented to the Veterinary College and Research Institute Hospital campus, Namakkal with the history of colic signs, anorexia, complete cessation of defecation and dehydration since 3 days. Clinical examination revealed absence of faeces, mucous coated blood in the rectum. Radiography revealed distended intestinal loops.ArticleItem Open Access Urethral obstruction by an air gun pellet and its surgical management in a dog(Indian society for veterinary surgery, 2015-12) Kumar, S. Senthil; Sivaraman, S.; Amritha, V.; Ramachandran, P.; Manikandan, R.; Dharmaceelan, S.; TANUVASUrinary tract obstruction is a medical emergency leading to severe dysuria and anuria in the affected animals. Urethral obstruction caused by migrating foreign body is very rare in dogs (Houston and Eaglesome, 1999). This paper reports successful surgical management in a case of urethral obstruction caused by an unusual foreign body (air gun pellet) in a male dog.Book chapterItem Open Access எருமைக் கன்றுக்குட்டி மார்பக உணவுக்குழல் அடைப்பும் அதன் அறுவை சிகிச்சை மேலாண்மையும்(Veelan ariviyal tamil iyakkam, Newdelhi, 2015) Kumaresan, A.; Manikandan, R.; Jayakumar, K.; Dharmaseelan, S.OtherItem Open Access குப்பைமேனி சாறைப் பயன்படுத்திக் கோழிகளில் பேன் தாக்கத்தை கட்டுப்படுத்துவது பற்றிய ஆய்வுRani, N.; Ponnudurai, K.; Harikrishnan, T.J.; Ramachandran, P.; Manikandan, R.; Sivasuriyan, C.; TANUVAS
