Title: Local Anesthetics Post by: Beejay on October 02, 2009, 03:56:00 pm I was wondering what anesthetic is best for a local block. (lidocaine, bupivicaine, prilocaine) Also, what is maximum dose per pound.
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: Beejay on October 02, 2009, 07:28:39 pm Anyone?
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: trey brown on October 02, 2009, 07:32:56 pm I PREFER LIDOCAINE
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: Beejay on October 02, 2009, 07:34:09 pm What would be max dosage?
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: trey brown on October 02, 2009, 07:36:37 pm I HAVE NO IDEA ALL I DO IS DRAW WHAT I THINK IM AM GOING TO NEED TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND THE CUT
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: Mike on October 02, 2009, 07:41:12 pm Lidocaine... if needed. Most dogs are pretty good about being stapled or sewed without anything.
Dosage... don't know. Squirt a little in the cut and then inject a small amout all around it. Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: trey brown on October 02, 2009, 07:44:44 pm THE ONLY TIME I USED LIDOCAINE IS WHEN THE DOG GETS CUT AROUND THE STOMACH AREA
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: Beejay on October 02, 2009, 07:52:30 pm I have raised bulldogs before and never needed any type of anesthesia. A month ago my bluetick dog took a bad lick to the chest and inner left leg. The chest wasn't bad, but the back leg was through 2 layers of muscle. He wouldn't let me get close. He's almost fully healed now, but next time I want to be ready.
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: Beejay on October 02, 2009, 07:54:16 pm I've heard bupivicaine is the way to go.
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: trey brown on October 02, 2009, 08:17:13 pm I GET LIDOCAINE FROM A BUDDY FOR FREE AND I DONT KNOW HOW THE OTHER STUFF IS
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: T.Angel on October 11, 2009, 02:22:06 pm Lidacaine is very effective, if you have a dog that is hard to deal with you can give them 1/4 to 1/2 cc of Xylaline that will let them sleep and will reverse on there own in about 30 mins.
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: rafterfpuncher on October 11, 2009, 04:29:08 pm Be careful of the Xylazine (Rompum) though, becuase if a dog is hot when you give it to them, it could kill the dog. I use it regularly, but you really need to let the dog cool off completely before using it.
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: Findahog on October 11, 2009, 07:30:38 pm Be careful of the Xylazine cause there is different mg. 20mg or 100mg both can be used on dogs. But make sure you know the right dosage to give.
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: Beejay on October 11, 2009, 08:58:17 pm I have studied up on this and agree that Rompum is the way go and can be reversed with Yobine. This stuff is hard to get a hold of from what i understand. I have an uncle who is a dentist and his dad is a vet. My uncle has cattle and race horses and claims this stuff is hard to get. He recommended giving ACE and a local for stitching.
Title: Re: Local Anesthetics Post by: T.Angel on October 18, 2009, 05:51:26 pm MRMUD, i use 100mg. Xylazine 1/2cc in the muscle, works fine for me. you can put it in the vein also just harder to do unless
you have help holding the dog |
