The effect of cisterna chyli ablation combined with thoracic duct ligation on abdominal lymphatic drainage.
To evaluate the effect of cisterna chyli ablation (CCA) and thoracic duct ligation (TDL) on abdominal lymphatic drainage in normal dogs. ⋯ CCA-TDL represents a novel approach to surgical redirection of chylous drainage to the venous circulation outside of the thorax and may be useful in the treatment of spontaneous chylothorax in the dog.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialAnalgesic comparison of meloxicam or ketoprofen for orthopedic surgery in dogs.
To compare the safety and efficacy of 2 analgesic protocols (preoperative meloxicam or intraoperative ketoprofen administration) during the first 24 hours after orthopedic surgery in dogs. ⋯ Analgesia after administration of preoperative meloxicam was comparable with administration of ketoprofen at the end of the surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialPre-emptive epidural ketamine or S(+)-ketamine in post-incisional pain in dogs: a comparative study.
To compare the pre-emptive analgesic effects of epidural ketamine or S(+)-ketamine on post-incisional hyperalgesia. ⋯ Although anesthetic and analgesic potency of S(+) ketamine is twice that of ketamine, the racemic form is seemingly better for post-incisional hyperalgesia.

Effects of static fixation and dynamization after interlocking femoral nailing locked with an external fixator: an experimental study in dogs.
To determine bone healing at 20 weeks, after either static fixation (SG) or after dynamization (DG) at 4 weeks in osteotomized canine femurs repaired with an interlocking nail (ILN) secured with a type I external skeletal fixator (ESF). ⋯ ILN locked with a type I ESF is seemingly a feasible method for repair of mid-shaft femoral fractures and may decrease risk of nail failure.

Evaluation of the bone injection gun as a method for intraosseous cannula placement for fluid therapy in adult dogs.
To evaluate the Bone Injection Gun (BIG) for placement of intraosseous cannulas through impact penetration and compare it with a standard Jamshidi bone marrow needle (JBMN) and to compare fluid delivery dynamics through each device. ⋯ The BIG is an effective alternative for obtaining rapid access to the intraosseous space for emergency fluid and drug administration.
