- Data presented as mean ± SD in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy (n = 30)
- Comparisons between groups were calculated using Tukey adjustment (p < 0.05)
- The CMPS-SF, the short form of Glasgow composite measure pain scale; OP-VAS, overall pain behavior visual analog scale; and S-VAS, stress behavior visual analog scale
-
a Levels at 3 h after extubation and at the recall visit differed significantly compared to before surgery and no significant difference was seen between 3 h after extubation and at recall
-
b Levels at recall significantly differed from before surgery, no significant differences were found between before surgery and 3 h after extubation and between 3 h after extubation and at recall
-
c Levels at 3 h after extubation significantly differed from before surgery and at recall where no significant difference was found between before surgery and at recall
