Fig. 1From: Comparison of perioperative analgesia using the infiltration of the surgical site with ropivacaine alone and in combination with meloxicam in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomyLocal infiltration into the ovarian pedicle (a), uterine cervix (b) and midline incision (c). Cats received 0.9% physiologic solution (group S, n = 15); 0.25% ropivacaine (1 mg/kg; group R, n = 15); or ropivacaine and meloxicam (0.2 mg/ kg; group RM, n = 15). The solutions were diluted with saline to a total volume of 0.4 mL/kg and were administered in equal parts into the subcutaneous tissue of the incision site, right and left ovarian pedicles, and caudal uterine body. The same volume of saline solution was administered into the same surgical sitesBack to article page
