Clinical Pathology of Liver Disease in Horses. Liver disease in horses is primarily evaluated using the routine serum biochemical profile with a few additional specialty tests of liver function that are performed when indicated. Serum enzyme activities are evaluated to indicate hepatocellular damage and cholestasis. Liver function is evaluated using synthetic markers like BUN, albumin, bilirubin, and clotting times, while clearance function tests such as serum bile acids and ammonia are performed separately. Most equine liver disease is characterized by some degree of hepatocellular damage and cholestasis, while decreased liver function is...
Clinical effect of buprenorphine or butorphanol, in combination with detomidine and diazepam, on sedation and postoperative pain after cheek tooth extraction in horses. The objective of this study was to compare effects of butorphanol (BUT) or buprenorphine (BUP), in combination with detomidine and diazepam, on the sedation quality, surgical conditions, and postoperative pain control after cheek tooth extraction in horses, randomly allocated to 2 treatment groups (BUT: = 20; BUP: = 20). A bolus of detomidine (15 μg/kg, IV) was followed by either BUP (7.5 μg/kg, IV) or BUT (0.05 mg/kg, IV). After 20 min, diazepam (0.01 mg/kg, IV) was administered and sedation was maintained with a detomidine IV infusion (20 μg/kg/h), with rate adjusted based on scores to ...
