[Effects of epidural injection of amitraz, xylazine or dimethyl sulfoxide in cows]

The effects of epidurally amitraz (0.4mg/kg), xylazine (0.05mg/kg) or 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (5.0ml) over heart rate (HR), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), respiratory rate (RR), ruminal motility (RM), rectal temperature (RT), head height (HH), and latency to heat-evoked reflexes (LSPR – skin of perineal region; LHWR – hoof withdrawal reflex) were evaluated in cows. HR and RM decreased in amit...

Six healthy, young cats were used in a prospective randomised study. Each cat underwent 3 treatments, at least 1 week apart, via epidural injection: (1) ketamine (2.5 mg/kg), (2) lidocaine (4.0 mg/kg), and (3) ketamine (2.5 mg/kg) plus lidocaine (4.0...
