Anti-nociceptive Efficacy of Carprofen and Meloxicam in Ovario-hysterectomized Dogs
Abstract:
Anti-nociceptive efficacy of carprofen and meloxicam was evaluated in twelve female dogs brought for elective ovario-hysterectomy randomly assigned to Group A and Group B. In Group A Carprofen was administered @ 4 mg/kg i.v, whereas in Group B, Meloxicam was administered @ 0.2 mg/ kg i.v, immediately after completion of surgery. Pain scores decreased significantly following analgesia with carprofen and meloxicam. Carprofen was found to be better analgesic than meloxicam in terms of its effect in reducing the behavioural pain responses post-operatively.
