“…Cat orchiectomy is a surgical procedure that requires an effective perioperative analgesia [ 1 ]. Surgical analgesia is very important because pain can delay recovery, decrease quality of life, disturb the human–animal bond, increases the body’s stress response to traumatic injury and causes alterations in metabolic and endocrine function [ 2 , 3 ]. Several authors have already described loco-regional anaesthetic as testicular block, the injection of local anaesthetics into the testicular parenchyma, to ensure a good pain protection during surgical neutering in domestic animals [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Background The orchiectomy in cats is a common surgical procedure with medium level of pain and for this reason requires intra and postoperative analgesia management. The aim of this study was to compare intra and postoperative pain in two groups of cats undergoing orchiectomy. Sixty healthy cats were randomly assigned in two groups (n = 30) to receive pre surgery ropivacaine hydrochloride (0.2 mL/kg at 0.5%) (R Group) or NaCl 0.9% (C group) into the spermatic cord. The intraoperative evaluation was carried out using the cardiorespiratory stability parameters and eventually administration of rescue analgesia. A rescue analgesia (fentanyl 2 µg/kg) was administered during orchiectomy in case of considerable increase of blood pressure, heart rate or respiratory rate. The postoperative evaluation was been done using scores following a UNESP-Botucatu multimodal scale for 6 h post-surgery. Results As result, cats in R group responded better to surgical procedure, maintaining lower postoperative pain scores than C group. Conclusions The ultrasound-guided funicular block used in this study, as already demonstrated in dogs, is a good method to protect the cats from surgical pain and ensure a good level of surgical analgesia.

“…The anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane (Isoflo ® , Zoetis Italia S.r.l.) (Cicirelli et al., 2021b ). From this point, instrumental monitoring of the following vital parameters was performed (pre‐incision values) and measured every 5 min: heart rate, respiratory rate and non‐invasive blood pressure (GE‐Datex Ohmeda Carestation 620 Anaesthesia Cart, GE‐Datex Ohmeda B 450 Monitor, Milano, Italy) (Cicirelli et al., 2021 ).…”

“…All dogs were pre‐medicated 20 min before surgery using intramuscular dexmedetomidine (3 μg/kg; Dexdomitor ® ; Vetoquinol Italia SRL, Bertinoro, Italy) and methadone hydrochloride (0.25 mg/kg; Semfortan ® ; Eurovet Animal Health BV, Bladel, the Netherlands) mixed in the same syringe. When the dogs were sedated, a venous catheter was placed in the cephalic vein to start a standard maintenance fluid therapy (NaCl 0.9%, 4 ml/Kg/h) (Cicirelli et al., 2021b ), and anaesthesia was induced by intravenous propofol (PropoVet, Zoetis Italia S.r.l.) to effect before intubation.…”

Background In this study, we compared two different techniques currently used for open canine ovariectomy: traditional method utilising absorbable suture and vessel sealing device (ENSEAL ® Ethicon Endo‐Surgery, Cincinnati, OH). Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the surgical times, intraoperative nociceptive response and the frequency of intraoperative complications in the canine ovariectomy procedure using these two techniques. Methods Forty bitches were randomly divided into two groups. The Control Group (C) will use a classic open surgery approach using ligatures with absorbable suture and ovarian resection with a scalpel blade. In the Group E, resection of ovarian structures was performed with ENSEAL ® tissue sealer device. For each dog the surgical times, the intraoperative nociceptive response (measuring heart rate, respiratory rate and non‐invasive blood pressure) and the intraoperative complications were measured to compare the effectiveness of the two techniques. Results The results of this study showed that the procedures performed using ENSEAL ® were faster than the traditional techniques using surgical suture. Instead, the results regarding the nociception and the safety of the two procedures are similar. Conclusions The present study shows that the use of ENSEAL ® significantly shortened the surgical time. Meanwhile, its use was found to be similarly safe and efficient in terms of intra‐operative nociception, as the classical techniques with absorbable suture. Canine ovariectomy using ENSEAL ® device is more practical and faster than the traditional technique; the routine use of this device is considered a useful alternative for the canine neutering.

“…Canine male reproductive function is similar to that of human males, which makes dogs a good model for fertility issues, especially when considering the similarities in diseases, environment, life span, size, genetics, and anatomy ( 12 , 13 ). Some of the genes involved in infertility and spermatogenesis, are found in both humans and dogs ( 14 ), and the morphological and qualitative abnormalities of sperm are similar in both species ( 15 , 16 ).…”

Although several methods have been developed to improve male fertility and sperm quality, subfertility remains a primary clinical issue in male reproduction worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the oral administration of three commensal Lactobacillus spp. on healthy normozoospermic dogs and the qualitative parameters of their sperm. Three weeks of supplementation induced a significant decrease of two phyla, Proteobacteria and Tenericutes, and an increase of phylum Firmicutes. At the species level, the number of Fusobacterium perfoetens and Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens decreased, while Limosilactobacillus reuteri increased. Parallel to these results, qualitative sperm parameters such as total and progressive motility, acrosome integrity, and other kinematic parameters were significantly enhanced after commensal lactobacilli supplementation. In addition, we showed that Firmicutes were positively correlated with sperm qualitative parameters, while Proteobacteria, F. perfoetens, and A. succiniciproducens were negatively correlated. Considering the similarities between the gut microbiome of dogs and humans, these results provide more insight into how gut microbiota regulation could improve male sperm quality in both species.
