This study hypothesized that IM alfaxalone and butorphanol would result in clinically useful sedation without clinically relevant cardiorespiratory effects. Twelve healthy 15-mo-old ferrets of equal sexes weighing 0.75 to 1.66 kg were enrolled. Using a prospective, blinded design, ferrets randomly received either IM alfaxalone 2.5 mg/kg and butorphanol 0.2 mg/kg (low dose [LD]) or IM alfaxalone 5 mg/kg and butorphanol 0.2 mg/kg (high dose [HD]) (n = 6/group). Sedation times and induction and recovery scores were recorded by a blinded observer. Anesthetic monitor placement was attempted in all recumbent ferrets, and physiologic parameters and reflexes were recorded every 5 min until return of spontaneous movement. Data were assessed for normality using a Shapiro-Wilk normality test and analyzed by two-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test; one ferret in HD was excluded. Ferrets in LD and HD exhibited moderate and marked sedation, with one of six and four of five ferrets tolerating monitor placement, respectively. Mean ± SD time to first effects, recumbency, and recovery in LD and HD was 2.30 ± 1.13 and 2.054 ± 1.12 (P = 0.7240), 2.87 ± 1.25 and 2.72 ± 1.41 (P = 0.8529), and 65.43 ± 32.43 and 52.30 ± 13.19 (P = 0.4212), respectively. Median (range) duration of recumbency in LD and HD was 31.12 (25.58–115.72) and 35.47 (28.27–44.42) min (P = 0.3290), respectively. Among monitored ferrets, transient mild hypotension and hypoxemia were observed. Intramuscular alfaxalone 5 mg/kg with butorphanol 0.2 mg/kg provided clinically useful sedation in ferrets with mild transient cardiorespiratory derangements.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE}, author={Milloway, Matthew C. and Posner, Lysa P. and Balko, Julie A.}, year={2020}, month={Dec}, pages={841–847} } @misc{gingold_milloway_morgan_2020, title={A novel motor-sparing locoregional nerve block technique for stifle surgery in dogs}, volume={47}, ISSN={["1467-2995"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.vaa.2020.06.001}, abstractNote={Neural innervation of the canine stifle is provided by branches of the sciatic and femoral nerves with individual branching variations possible ( O'Connor and Woodbury, 1982 O'Connor B.L. Woodbury P. The primary articular nerves to the dog knee. J Anat. 1982; 134: 563-572 PubMed Google Scholar ). Branches from the saphenous nerve, a branch of the femoral nerve, include the medial articular nerve which supplies the medial, posterior and anterior aspects of the stifle joint and potentially the cruciate ligament. The femoral and obturator nerves occasionally supply fibers to the median articular nerve. Posterior articular nerves contribute innervation to the posterior and posteromedial aspects of the joint and typically include branches from the tibial nerve. The lateral articular nerve (arising from the common peroneal nerve) innervates the lateral collateral ligament and the lateral portion of the stifle joint capsule. Despite the current description, more detailed anatomical studies are needed in veterinary species as the innervation of the human knee involves at least 14 nerve branches ( Fonkoué et al., 2019 Fonkoué L.
