Evaluation of the influence of atipamezole on the postoperative analgesic effect of buprenorphine in cats undergoing a surgical ovariohysterectomy

Conclusions and clinical relevanceAtipamezole (0.0375 mg kg−1 IM) administration did not significantly affect the postoperative pain scores in cats after OVH. Preoperative administration of buprenorphine (20 μg kg−1 IM) did not provide adequate postoperative analgesia for feline OVH.
