...nous anesthesia, xylzine-ketamine and inhalation anesthesia, isoflurane was clinically compared in healthy female rabbits (n=16) undergoing ovariohysterectomy. One group of 8 rabbits was anesthetized with combination of xylazine (3mg/kg) and ketamine (10mg/kg, I/V), while the second group (n=8) was pre-anesthetized with xylazine, followed by treatment with isoflurane (4%) with oxygen flow rate of 1L/min. Rabbits administered...

Estimate the Effect of Propofol and Ketamine on Clinical and Hematological Parameters in Xylazine Pre-Meditated Baladi Egyptian Donkeys

Mohammed Zaki Fathy*

...e effect of propofol and ketamine on hematological parameters and cardiopulmonary parameters in xylazine pre-medicated Baladi Egyptian donkeys. Eighteen apparently healthy donkeys were divided into two equal groups. All animals were injected with xylazine HCl 2% (1.0mg/Kg) as pre-medication drug intravenously. Then in the first group (G1), was injected by the propofol (2mg/Kg intravenously) while in the second group (G2), was injected with

...combinations viz. ketamine-xyalzine (K+X) and ketamine-xylazine-diazepam (K+X+D). A total of 20 ducks presented at pet center University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Lahore were divided into 2 equal groups each carrying 10 birds. The birds were monitored for various physiological parameters before and after anesthesia. The birds of K+X group were given ketamine hydrochloride (1...

...cluding birds. In birds, ketamine is often combined with alph2 agonists, which are respiratory depressants to ensure safe or balanced anaesthesia. The timing of administration and the effect on recovery for specific alhpa2 agonist antidotes in birds have not been widely investigated. This study was conducted to assess the reversal effects of atipamezole administered at the first sign of recovery on medetomidine-ketamine anae...

Ginkgo Biloba Extract’s Efficacy to Mitigate the Genotoxicity that Hydroxyurea Induces in Mice

Ali I. Al-Ameedi¹, Zahraa M. Ayad²*, Wed Abbas Mohammed³, Salim K. Hajwal⁴

...ne after anesthesia with ketamine+xylazine and slide preparation with Giemsa stain, experimental animals’ chromosomal abnormalities, mitotic index, and blast index were examined. In order to ascertain the protective activity of the plant extract, the mitotic index and blast index are also assessed. The results showed that the exposed group (T1) had a significantly lower mitotic index (the number of cells in mitosis per 1000 bone marrow cells) than the co...

... hydrochloride, 35 mg/kg ketamine hydrochloride, and 1 mg/kg diazepam were carried out. Based on the sort of treatment applied, these animals were allocated into three groups (A, B, and C). Chitosan powder was applied locally to wounds in group (A), as well as administered orally in group (B), and the wounds were left untreated in group (C) as a standard group. Each group was split into four subgroups, each consisting of two wounds, for histological analysis a...

Review on Commonly Used Veterinary Anesthetic Drugs in Small Ruminants

Abnet Mekonnen¹*, Kadir Abderehman¹ and Feti Seyaka²

...general anesthetics like ketamine disrupt pathways within the cerebrum and stimulates the reticular activating center. Local anaesthetics affect all excitable tissues in the body, so toxicity can occur when sufficient amounts of the drug are absorbed into the circulation. General anesthesia (GA) is not commonly used in small ruminants as its administration results in several side effects such as; ruminal tympany, regurgitation of reticuloruminal contents, aspi...

...zed using an overdose of ketamine HCl (85-95 mg/kg BW). The topographic position of organs was observed in situ, and samples were collected in 10% neutral buffered formalin for routine histological procedures. The results showed that in neonate guinea pigs, the esophagus was a narrow muscular tube approximately 1.47±0.02 cm in length and 0.044±0.02 gm in weight, divided according to its position into three portions. The stomach was a transverse, ...

...ffectiveness of low-dose ketamine in minimizing the cardiorespiratory depression caused by propofol and sevoflurane in spontaneously breathing dogs during laparotomy remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the effects of low-dose continuous ketamine infusion to mitigate the hemodynamic fluctuations associated with propofol, sevoflurane, and surgery. Therefore, sixteen healthy male dogs were randomly divided into f...
