    ROMIFIDINE AND XYLAZINE SEDATION WITH KETAMINE-ISOFLURANE ANAESTHESIA FOR SURGERIES IN BUFFALOES
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-08) SAGAR PANDAV; (S. M. USTURGE)
    The present study was carried out in 12 clinical cases of buffaloes of either sex presented for various surgical procedures at Veterinary College, Bidar. The sedative effects of romifidine and xylazine for ketamine-isoflurane general anaesthesia in buffaloes were compared. The buffaloes were randomly divided into two groups consisting of six buffaloes in each group. The buffaloes of group I were administered with romifidine hcl @ 10 μg/kg body weight IV followed by ketamine hydrochloride @ (3 mg/kg, I/V) and maintained with isoflurane @ (1-2 %). The buffaloes of group II were administered with xylazine @ 0.1 mg/kg body weight IV followed by ketamine hydrochloride @ (3 mg/kg, I/V) and maintained with isoflurane @ (1-2%). The anaesthetic combinations were evaluated based on clinical, physiological, haemodynamic and haematobiochemical observations. Onset of sedation and down time to sternal recumbency was faster in the buffaloes premedicated with romifidine. Better analgesia, degree of sedation, muscle relaxation and faster induction and recovery was noticed in romifidine group-I as compared to xylazine group-II for ketamine-isoflurane general anaesthesia in buffaloes. Respiratory depression, bradycardia and decrease in mean arterial pressure were more severe in buffaloes premedicated with romifidine when compared to buffaloes premedicated with xylazine during ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia. Haematobiochemical parameters though changed non-significantly during general anaesthesia in both the groups, it was only transient and not alaraming to suggest any pathological condition. Hence romifidine as a premedicant can be preferred over xylazine ketamine-isoflurane induced general anaesthesia buffaloes

    COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON INFLUENCE OF RIGHT AND LEFT LATERAL RECUMBENCY ON VERTEBRAL HEART SCORE IN PUG BREED OF DOGS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FOISHERIE'S SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-10) RAMYA, M. N.; Prof. (Dr.) NAGARAJA, B. N.
    A study on influence of right and left lateral recumbency on Vertebral Heart Score (VHS) in Pug breed of dogs (12) presented to Veterinary College Hospital, Hassan was carried out in a period of one year. In this study, the overall occurrence of cardiac diseases was 1.28% in dogs, irrespective of breeds. The occurrence of cardiac disease in Pug breed of dogs was 16.98%, highest in age group of 2-6 years (68.68%) and in female dogs (66.66%). The VHS in healthy Pug breed of dogs (Group A) was 10.28 + 0.20v and 10.08 + 0.19v in right and left lateral recumbency, respectively. VHS in Pug breed of dogs with cardiac diseases (Group B) was 11.63 + 0.24v and 11.41 + 0.21v in right and left lateral recumbency, respectively which was significantly greater than VHS of Group A. The VHS was subjectively correlated with the findings of thoracic radiography, electrocardiography and echocardiography. The right lateral VHS was significantly greater than left lateral VHS in both the groups. There was statistically non-significant variation in physiological parameter (temperature, except heart rate and respiratory rate), clinical parameter (BCS), haematological parameters (TEC, Hb, PCV, TLC and DLC) and biochemical parameters (serum creatinine, ALT and BUN) within and between the groups. VHS is the easily applicable, interpretable, non-invasive and accurate method for diagnosing cardiac disorders in dogs using thoracic radiographs. The VHS provided radiographic cardiac silhouette incorporating all chambers. The electrocardiography provided the electrical activities of the heart and echocardiography provided myocardial function and intracardiac morphology. Therefore, the combination of all these techniques will aid in assessing the severity and significance of known heart disease and helps to evaluate the therapeutic efficiency. Key words: Vertebral Heart Score (VHS), Pug, recumbency, dilated cardiomyopathy.

    COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON DIFFERENTTYPES OF INTRAOCULAR LENS IMPLANTATION FOLLOWING PHACOEMULSIFICATION IN CATARACTOUS DOGS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2018-06) SURESH, L.; Dr. L. RANGANATH
    The present study was carried out among the dogs presented to Veterinary College Hospital, KVAFSU, Hebbal, Bangalore over a period of one year. A total of 13,200 cases were presented of which the number of dogs with cataract were 28 (0.21%), with highest percentage in Cocker Spaniel (25.00 %), followed by six in Pomeranian (21.43 %), four in Golden Retriever (14.29 %), three cases each in Labrador Retrievers, German Spitz and Non-descript (10.72 %) and two in German Shepherds (7.15%). Highest occurrence seen in the dogs aged 9-11 years range and high in male (53.60%) dogs. Pre and post-surgical evaluation of physiological, haematobiochemical parameters, visual function tests and clinical examination of eye were done. Accordingly, eighteen dogs were randomly selected and divided into three groups, Group A, B and C and were subjected for phacoemulsification followed with implantation of Rigid PMMA, Foldable hydrophilic acrylic and Foldable hydrophobic acrylic intra ocular lens respectively. The present study showed that there were no significant changes in physiological, hematological and biochemical parameters before and after the surgery. The techniques followed for the three groups were found to be adequate for restoring the vision. Comparatively, there was a lesser post-operative complications, better vision improvement and a higher owners response in Group C followed with B and A. In conclusion, the phacoemulsification followed with hydrophobic IOL implantation in Group C was proved to be superior in restoring vision with minimal post-operative complications

    TRAMADOL PRE-EMPTIVE ANALGESIA FOR ROMIFIDINE-PROPOFOL AND XYLAZINE PROPOFOL INDUCTION WITH ISOFLURANE MAINTENANCE FOR SURGERIES OF DOGS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-08) TOKAPPA, K. G; D. DILIP KUMAR
    The study was conducted to evaluate romifidine and xylazine as pre-anaesthetic for propofol-isoflurane anaesthesia in dogs for various surgeries. The study was conducted in 12 linical cases presented to VCC, Bidar. Twelve animals were randomly divided into two groups viz., Group-I and Group-II and consisting of six animals in each group. All the animals of boththe groups were atropinised at the rate of 0.045mg/kg and tramadol at the dose rate of 2 mg/kg body weight intramuscularly. Group-I animals received romifidine (10µg/kg) intravenously, In the Group-II animals xylazine (1mg/kg) was administered intravenously, anaesthesia was induced by administering propofol (3mg/kg) intravenously after 10 minutes of pre-anaesthetic administration in both the groups. Maintenance of anaesthesia was done under isoflurane in both groups. Anaesthetic combinations were compared by clinicophysiological, haemodynamic and haematobiochemical observations. Group I dogs showed quicker onset of sedation, narrowly quicker induction time and slower recovery than group II dogs. Degree of analgesia and muscle relaxation were greater in group I than group II dogs. Physiological parameters like rectal temperature and heart rate showed no significant variation in both groups. Respiratory rate decreased significantly in both the groups which was transitory in nature hence three combinations were well tolerated by the dogs. Haemodynamic observations did not vary significantly in both the groups. Haematological observations revealed that slight changes were observed in both the groups of dogs. Biochemical parameters did not vary significantly in both the groups, indicating that two anaesthetic combinations did not produce any adverse effects on liver and kidney function. Hence, Romifidine is an alternative pre-anaesthetic for xylazine for propofol - isoflurane anaesthesia for various surgeries in dogs. However, good analgesia and excellent muscle relaxation were observed in Romifidine-propofol-isoflurane anaesthesia in dogs

    COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF XYLAZINE – KETAMINE AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE - KETAMINE BOLUS INDUCTION COMBINATION UNDER ISOFLURANE ANAESTHESIA IN CANINES UNDERGOING VARIOUS SURGERIES
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-08) SWAROOP, G. L; Dr. DILIPKUMAR, D
    The study was conducted to evaluate xylazine – ketamine and dexmedetomidine – ketamine bolus induction intravenously and maintenance by isoflurane anaesthesia in dogs for various surgeries. The study was conducted in 12 clinical cases presented to VCC, Bidar. Twelve animals were randomly divided into two groups viz., Group-I and group-II consisting of six animals in each group. All the animals in two groups were atropinised at the rate of 0.045mg/kg via., intramuscularly. Group-I animals received xylazine – ketamine bolus (1 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg respectively) intravenously, in the Group-II animals dexmedetomidine – ketamine (10 µg/kg and 10 mg/kg respectively) was administered intravenously, after dogs reaching surgical plane of anaesthesia endotracheal intubation was done for isoflurane (1-2 %) anaesthesia as a maintenance administration in all the animals of two groups. Anaesthetic combinations were compared by clinicophysiological, haemodynamic and hematobiochemical observations. Group II dogs showed quicker and smooth induction time and prolonged recovery than group I. Degree of analgesia and muscle relaxation were greater in group I than group II. Physiological parameters like rectal temperature showed no significant variation in two groups. Respiratory rate and heart rate had significant difference in two groups which was transitory in nature, hence two combinations were well tolerated by the dogs. Haemodynamic observations had varied significantly in two groups. Haematological observations revealed that slight changes were observed in two groups of dogs. Biochemical parameters were varied significantly in two groups. Hence, xylazine – ketamine bolus and dexmedetomidine – ketamine bolus combination provides cardiac, thoracic and abdominal relaxation, there by kept the animal in good surgical plane of anaesthesia. However, good analgesia and excellent muscle relaxation were observed in xylazine-ketamine bolus induction and isoflurane maintenance anaesthesia in dogs
