Comparative analysis of anesthetic protocols for caesarean section in dogs

When conducting a comparative analysis of two anesthetic protocols for cesarean section of dogs at the Zebra Veterinary Clinic, it was found that the protocol using Propofol and Zoletil was more effective in several respects. Intravenous anesthesia to dogs of the experimental group with Propofol and Zoletil causes a decrease in heart rate and respiratory rate within the normal range, reduces the occurrence of vomiting after induction. Awakening occurs in the mother 5-10 minutes after the end of the operation and 10-15 minutes in the puppies, while the awakening of the animals after the application of the protocol of the control group using Xyla and Zoletil occurs on average 35 minutes after the end of the surgical intervention in the mother and 25 minutes for puppies. The Apgar score of the newborns in the control group was 6.2±2.0, which is 3 points lower than in the newborns of the experimental group (9.2±1.0). Based on this, we can recommend resorting to the experimental group protocol in veterinary practice when other methods of anesthesia for caesarean section in dogs are not available.
