“…The preoperative application of meloxicam reduces the systemic stress response, by decreasing the plasma cortisol and adrenaline (17,18). The peak of the analgesic effect of butorphanol is between the 30th and 60th min of intramuscular application (19), which corresponded to the lowest detected WBC, Ly, Gran in group ММ, in agreement with data from earlier research of ours regarding the blood hormonal levels in the same periods (9).…”

The investigation was performed on 21 healthy adult cats in order to evaluate the effects of three anesthetic protocols on haematological indices during the anesthesia, surgery and for a 24-hour post-surgery period. The animals were divided in to three experimental groups (n=7 in each). The first group (Х/К group) was premedicated with 2 mg/kg xylazine i.m., the second group (In group) -with 0.025 mg/kg acepromazine i.m., and the third group (ММ group) -with 0.025 mg/kg acepromazine i.m., 0.4 mg/kg butorphanol i.m. and 0.3 mg/kg metacam s.c. The induction and maintenance of anesthesia in group Х/К was done with 10 mg/kg ketamine i.v., while in the other two groups, induction with done with 5 mg/kg propofol i.v. After intubation, anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane 2.5 vol% in group In and 1.8 vol% in group ММ in oxygen flow 2.0 l/min. Blood samples were collected prior to anesthesia -0 min and at min 30, 60, 120 and hour 24 after the inception of anesthesia. A statistically significant reduction in erythrocyte counts, haemoglobin and haematocrit was observed in the three experimental groups immediately after the beginning of anesthesia. Total white blood cells count was also substantially changed, but marked decrease in leukocyte, granulocyte and lymphocyte counts in groups In and X/K were established on min 120, while in group MM -by the 60th min. The three tested anesthetic protocols decreased the studied blood parameters after the beginning of anesthesia, most probably as a result of neuro-hormonal interactions of the anesthetic drugs and the related blood volume redistribution.

“…Bleeding time is the most common in vivo method used to investigate platelet function abnormalities (BRONDANI et al, 2009). Bleeding time was measured at the external surface of the ear, unlike previous studies in cats (CARROLL et al, 2005;BRONDANI et al, 2009) and the results were comparable to tests performed at the oral mucosa in cats (CARROLL et al, 2005). This test has been criticized when used as a screening test to predict surgical bleeding because of poor predictive performance (LIND, 1991).…”

“…Serum creatinine and urea levels remained in the physiological range and showed no statistical differences between the groups. These are the routine tests used to investigate kidney function in cats treated with NSAIDs (SLINGSBY & WATERMAN-PEARSON, 2002;CARROLL et al, 2005;TOBIAS et al, 2006). However, it should be pointed out that these variables do not change until more than 66% of nephrons are non-functional (FINCO, 1995;DiBARTOLA, 2010).…”

Although cats are very popular pets, pain in this species is often underestimated. The reasons for this may include difficulties in pain recognition, unfamiliarity with the use of opioids or non-steroidal analgesic drugs, and with the application of local analgesic techniques. Proper pain management should always be undertaken mainly for medical and humane purposes. Pre-emptive and multimodal analgesia can aid significanly in postoperative pain alleviation. Nowadays, the veterinarian's armamentarium is equipped with a variety of agents in order to alleviate pain in cats. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often as effective as opioids. The latter are now used successfully for pain management in cats. Both classes provide safe analgesia, taking into account the differences in metabolism between cats and other species. Adjunctive analgesic therapy may be provided with the use of ketamine or a2-adrenergic receptor agonists. Loco-regional analgesic techniques can be used to effectively manage pain in a variety of clinical settings.

Analgesic efficacy of preoperative administration of meloxicam or butorphanol in onychectomized cats

Abstract: Preoperative administration of meloxicam improved analgesia for 24 hours without clinically relevant adverse effects in cats that underwent onychectomy or onychectomy and neutering and provided safe, extended analgesia, compared with butorphanol.
