Efficacy Of Postoperative Oral Tepoxalin After Decompressive Surgery In Dogs With Degenerative Lumbosacral Stenosis, Niyada Thitaram, Herman A.W. Hazewinkel, Björn P. Meij Jun 2018

Efficacy Of Postoperative Oral Tepoxalin After Decompressive Surgery In Dogs With Degenerative Lumbosacral Stenosis, Niyada Thitaram, Herman A.W. Hazewinkel, Björn P. Meij

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Twenty-three client-owned dogs with degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLS) treated by decompressive surgery were included in this study. The dogs were assigned to postoperative medication protocols of tepoxalin (10 mg/kg, SID) for 2 weeks (8 dogs, group 1), of tepoxalin (10 mg/kg, SID) for 6 weeks (7 dogs, group 2), and of carprofen (2 mg/kg, BID) for 2 weeks (8 dogs, group 3). Gait function after decompressive surgery of the dogs was evaluated by force plate analysis (FPA) and questionnaires filled out by their owners. FPA was performed before surgery, and at 4 days, 6 weeks, and 6 months after surgery. …

Effect Of Interferential Current Therapy On Ground Reaction Force In Dogs With Hip Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Placebo Controlled Cross-Over Clinical Trial, Rutaitip Upariputti, Monchanok Vijarnsorn, Sirirat Niyom, Sujitra Boonyong

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of interferential current therapy on ground reaction force and orthopedic assessment score of canine patients with hip osteoarthritis. Nine dogs that met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. Each dog received 3 types of treatment: interferential current therapy (IFC), sham current therapy (SHAM), and control treatment (CTR). The order of the treatments for each dog was assigned by block randomization method. A 24-hour interval was applied between each treatment session. Subjective orthopedic assessment and objective force plate gait analysis were used as measurement of clinical improvement in this …

Effectiveness Of Disease Modifying Osteoarthritis Agents And Carprofen For Treatment Of Canine Osteoarthritis, Irin Kwananocha, Monchanok Vijarnsorn, Narudee Kashemsant, Chalermpol Lekcharoensuk

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A prospective, randomized, single-blinded study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of disease modifying osteoarthritis agents (DMOAAs) and carprofen by using force plate gait analysis and orthopaedic assessment score (OAS) in osteoarthritic dogs. Forty dogs with hip and/or stifle osteoarthritis (OA) were assigned randomly into four treatment groups: PCSO-524, treated with a marine-based fatty-acid compound; GC-ASU, treated with a combination of glucosamine-chondroitin sulphate and avocado/soybean unsaponifiables; CPF, treated with carprofen; and CPF-PCSO, treated with a combination of carprofen and PCSO-524. Each group received the therapeutic agent orally for four weeks. Peak vertical force (PVF), OAS, haematology and blood …
