V. ParikhCataracts are the most common cause of treatable visual deficits and blindness in dogs. Phacoemulsification has become an art of surgical procedure for management of cataract surgery. The present clinical study on phacoemulsification was conducted on 20 dogs to remove the cataractous lens. Out of the 20 eyes, +41.00 D multifocal diffractive - refractive foldable, biconvex, UV blocking, hydrophilic acrylic plate haptics intraocular lens with 14.00 mm length and 7.00 mm optical diameter was implanted in 10 eyes and the rest of 10 eyes were left aphakic. A high incidence of cataract in dogs was seen in females (65%), geriatric (8-15 years, 65%) cases with mature cataract (75%) and senility (60%) as the major cause. Prior to the surgery, all dogs were subjected to detailed ophthalmic examination and routine haematology and serum biochemical analysis. Six dogs with IOL implant were subjected to electroretinography as useful adjunct test for pre- and post-operative evaluations of retinal functions in conjunction with cataract surgery. The Mean+SE of b/a ratio for six dogs with cataract was 3.70+0.63. Mean peak to peak amplitudes seemed to be smaller for each dogs with b/a ratio higher than the normal range (2.33+0.73). The visual outcome achieved was evaluated based on visual function tests, ERG and fundic examination.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON BALANCED ANAESTHESIA USING BUTORPHANOL - ACEPROMAZINE - GLYCOPYRROLATE (BAG) AS PREANAESTHETIC TO KETAMINE - DIAZEPAM, KETAMINE -MIDAZOLAM, PROPOFOL AND ISOFLURANE MAINTENANCE IN CANINES(AAU, Anand, 2010) KAVECHIYA, VIPULKUMAR PRAHLADBHAI; BARVALIA, D. R.A clinical study, on 36 dogs of either sex allotted to six groups of six animals in each, was undertaken to evaluate sedative effect of BAG - Butorphanol, Acepromazine and Glycopyrrolate @ 0.2, 0.04 and 0.01 mg/kg b.wt., respectively, as a combination administered intramuscularly. Induction was carried out using Diazepam @ 0.28 mg/kg b.wt. and Ketamine @ 5 mg/kg b. wt. mixture in KDK (I) and KDI (II) groups, Midazolam @ 0.28 mg/kg b.wt. and Ketamine @ 5 mg/kg b.wt. mixture in KMK (III) and KMl (IV) groups and Propofol @ 5 mg/kg b.wt. in PP (V) and PI (VI) groups intravenously (IV) about 15 min. after premedication with BAG. The maintenance of anaesthesia was carried out with ketamine (0.25 mg/kg/min.) in ketamine-diazepam and ketamine-midazolam induction for KDK and KMK groups. Animals of similar induction groups were also maintained with isoflurane in KDI and KMI groups. In propofol induction, propofol (0.4 mg/kg/min.) and isoflurane were used as maintenance agent in PP and PI groups. Anaesthesia was induced in overnight fasted and preanaesthetically evaluated dogs 15 min. after premedication over a period of 90 sec. in ketamine combination groups and over 90-120 sec. time in propofol groups. Onset of sedative effect of preanaesthesia, induction quality and time of intubation were recorded in all animals. Optimum doses for desired effect were also recorded for preanaesthesia, induction and maintenance in all animals. Different clinical parameters related to anaesthesia, recovery times, vital signs and complication, if any, were recorded at 15 min. after preanaesthesia (AP), 0 min. (at induction), 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min. inclusive of commencement of induction in all groups. Different haematological and biochemical parameters were studied at 0 min. (normal), 15 and 30 min. post induction in all cases. Cost of preanaesthesia, induction and maintenance were calculated for all cases. Postoperative pain managmant was achieved using meloxicam (0.2 mg/kg b.wt.) for 5 days after operation. All the animals showed profound signs of sedation without any complications. Combination mixture (BAG) also masked the adverse effects of opioid in preanaesthesia. Lower dose of acepromazine seem to be safe for older dogs also. Induction of anaesthesia was smooth and satisfactory without any complications, however it was comparatively faster in propofol and ketaminemidazolam groups than ketamine-diazepam. Time for induction and endotracheal intubation was also less in propofol and ketamine-midazolam induction than ketamine-diazepam. In all six groups, mean pulse rate per minute showed a nonsignificant decrease at 15 minutes after preanaesthesia. At the time of induction and after induction, mean pulse rate showed significant increase in KDK, KDI and KMK groups and nonsignificant increase in KMI, PP and PI groups. Mean Sp02 values showed nonsignificant decrease after preanaesthesia and followed by increase in all groups. However, increase was observed in animals of isoflurane maintenance groups. Respiratory rate showed nonsignificant changes through out the period of anaesthesia. Same way the rectal temperature decreased gradually but nonsignificantly in all groups. Mean blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean) showed nonsignificant decrease after preanaesthesia in all groups there after increased nonsignificantly in ketamine maintenance groups but remained in normal range in all groups. There was nonsignificant increase in AST and ALT values in all groups but minor increase in PP, PI, KDI and KMI groups. BUN and creatinine values decreased nonsignificantly in all groups but minor decrese in PP, PI, KDI and KMI groups. Blood glucose concentration showed nonsignificant increase in all groups whereas the total protein concentration were decreased nonsignificantly in all groups. TEC decreased nonsignificantly in PP and PI groups whereas there was nonsignificant increase in all other groups. TLC, haemoglobin and PCV decreased in all groups however was nonsignificant. In DLC, neutrophils increased and lymphocytes decreased nonsignificantly in all groups. The changes in monocytes, eosinophils and basophils were not significant. Recovery characteristics like recovery start time, time for response to pin prick, head raising time, sternal recumbency time, stand unassisant time and resume to feeding or watering time were significantly decreased in PP and PI groups. The cost of propofol and ketamine-midazolam inductions were significantly higher as compared to ketamine-diazepam. Maintenance cost of anaesthesia with isoflurane and propofol were cheaper as compared to ketamine. Meloxicam provided optimum postoperative pain relief All the protocols were competitively effective having no adverse effects on animals. Propofol in combination with isoflurane for maintenance in BAG premedicated group was cheaper and the safest protocol.
