    STUDIES ON SURGICO-THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF CORNEAL ULCER IN DOGS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) PATEL KRUNAL P.; Dr. P. V. Parikh
    In present study, the incidence and surgico-therapeutic management of corneal ulcer was studied from March 2019 to February 2020. A total of 5129 dogs were presented with several ailments at the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College, AAU, Anand. Among them 4.28 percent (n= 220) dogs were found to be affected with various ocular affections and 0.64 percent (n=33) dogs were diagnosed with corneal ulcer. Out of 220 cases of ocular affections, the highest cases of corneal melanosis (25%,55 cases), followed by corneal ulcer (16.81%, 33 cases) and cataract (13.63%, 30 cases) were observed. Higher incidences of corneal ulcer were seen in Pug breed and age wise distribution indicate a high prevalence of corneal ulcer in younger dogs (age group of 1 to 5 years). Sex wise distribution indicate that more males were affected than the females. The main causative factors were found to be as trauma followed by keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) and common symptoms noticed like corneal oedema, pain, conjunctival hyperaemia, epiphora, pawing, blepharospasm and photophobia. It was observed that the highest incidence of ulcers located centrally followed by dorso-nasal.

    CLINICOPHYSIOLOGICAL AND HAEMATOBIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF KETAMINE, PROPOFOL AND SEVOFLURANE ANAESTHESIA IN DEXMEDETOMIDINE PREMEDICATED DOGS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY & RADIOLOGY, COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2019) PAL ITISHA ANANDBHAI; Dr. P. V. PARIKH
    Twelve apparently healthy clinical cases of dogs were randomly divided in two groups (A and B) having six dogs in each group. After five minutes of atropine administration (0.04 mg/kg b.wt., SC) all the dogs were sedated with dexmedetomidine (10 μg/kg b.wt. IM). Fifteen min later general anaesthesia was induced by ketamine (IV till effect) in group A and by propofol (IV till effect) in group B. All the animals were maintained on sevoflurane anaesthesia after endotracheal intubation.

    CLINICAL STUDIES ON DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF BUTORPHANOL, ACEPROMAZINE AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE PREMEDICATION ALONG WITH MIDAZOLAM KETAMINE AND PROPOFOL INDUCTION AND ISOFLURANE MAINTENANCE IN DOGS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) PARMAR ANGEL SIRILBHAI; Dr. P.V. PARIKH
    A clinical study, on 24 dogs presented at Department of Veterinary Surgery & Radiology for various surgical affections were randomly allotted to four groups of six dogs (n=6) each to evaluate sedative and anaesthetic effects of various combinations. All the 24 dogs were premedicated with atropine sulphate @0.02mg/kg b.wt s/c and butorphanol @0.2mg/kg b.wt i/v. After 15 minutes, in group I and II dexmedetomidine was administered @ 0.003mg/kg i/v While, in group III and group IV acepromazine was administered 0.02mg/kg i/v. Induction of anaesthesia was achieved by combination of Ketamine- Midazolam combination (2:1) in group I and III till the effect) and Propofol (i/v till the effect in group II and IV). Maintenance of anaesthesia was done by isoflurane after endotracheal intubation in all the animals.

    STUDIES ON SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF PROLAPSE OF THIRD EYELID GLAND IN CANINES
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) KAVITA R. KURUP; Dr. P. V. Parikh
    The present study was carried out in sixteen clinical cases of dogs with prolapsed third eyelid gland that were randomly divided into two groups of eight dogs each and in one group repositioning was performed with Morgan’s pocket technique (n=8) whereas in the other group modified Morgan’s pocket technique (n=8) was performed wherein simple continuous suture pattern was oversewed with continuous Cushing suture pattern and compared. Operation was performed under general anaesthesia using propofol (4mg/kg, IV) as induction agent; atropine (0.03mg/kg, SC) as well as butorphanol (0.2mg/kg, I/V) as preanaesthetic agent and maintenance was done with isoflurane.

    STUDIES ON OCULAR NEOPLASIA IN DOMESTIC ANIMALS”
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) GONDALIYA RAVI B.; Dr. P. V. PARIKH
    In the present study, a retrospective analysis of the ocular tumors in domestic animals at the department of surgery and radiology, Anand was done from 2012- 2016 to find out the incidence, distribution and type of ocular tumors with various therapeutic and surgical management undertaken. A total 63 cases of various tumors in bovines, 31 cases in buffalo, 41 cases in horses and 380 cases in dogs were reported. Among these, only 18 (28.57 %) cases of ocular tumor in bovines, 4 (12.90 %) cases in buffaloes, 9 (21.95 %) cases in horses and 24 (6.31 %) cases in dogs were recorded.

    THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF EPIPLEURAL AND VISCERAL PROCAINE BLOCKADE IN PRIMARY INDIGESTION CASES OF BUFFALOES (Bubalus bubalis)
    (AAU, Anand, 1991) Shah, Dharmendra A.; Parsania, R. R.
    The cases admitted to Veterinary College Hospital, Anand and Ambulatory Clinic centres at Chikhodra, Gamdi and Bedva villages were studied and 50 oases of primary indigestion were selected for therapeutic trials. The cases were grossly diagnoses on the basis of history, clinical findings and faecal sample examination. These 50 animals were divided equally into five treatment trial groups via., (a) epipleural procaine blockade (b) viscera procaine blockade (c) conventional method supplemented with epipleural procaine blockade (d) conventional method supplement with visceral procaine blockade and (e) conventional method onl Clinical observations regarding overall behaviour of the animal, its expression, ruminal motility, heart rate, respiratiorate and rectal temperature were studied before and 48 hours aft the treatment in all the five groups of buffaloes. Haematologica parameters (Hb, PCV, TEC, TLC and DLC), biochemical parameters (blood glucose and BUN) and rumen fluid analysis (colour, odour, pH, protozoal motility and total volatile fatty acids concentrate were also studied before and 48 hours after the treatment. However, in all the parameters, the changes were found non-significant and remained within their normal physiological limits. Depending upon the efficacy and the rapidity with which the cases got cured, the present study has definately indicated that the procaine blockade was better than the conventional treatment. Among procaine blockades also, the visceral procaine blockade was found to be superior and practical method having wide field applicability. The present study was restricted to fifty clinical cases of primary indigestion only. But looking to the results achieved this visceral procaine blockade can be employed in more number of cases and also in variety of conditions, which may throw a light on some hidden efficacy of the same. So, further study is needed for better understanding of the blockade and i t s wide sprea uses in veterinary practices.

    EVALUATION OF SMALL INTESTINAL VIABILITY BY INTRAVENOUS INJECTION OF FLUORESCEIN DYE IN BUFFALO CALVES
    (AAU, Anand, 1988) TANK, PRAFULCHANDRA H.; Parsania, R. R.
    The present study was carried out on 12 buffalo calves of 8 to 12 months in age. In each calf, two types of vascular obstructions viz., Ischemic strangulation obstruction (ISO) and Haemorrhagic strangulation obstruction (HSO) were created by clamping 30-35 on segment of jajumum with its associated arteries and veins, and only veins, respectively. Animals were randomly divided into three groups of four animals each, according to the duration of ischemia viz., 1, 3 and 6 hours. The viability of intestinal segments were evaluated grosely by standard clinical criteria (SCC), fluorescein dye injection, morbid angiography and histopathologically at the end of specific occlusion period.
