Abstract

This research was carried out at the Anubis VSC Veterinary Clinic in the City of Machala, El Oro Province, Ecuador. Carrying out the use of lidocaine in post-surgical pain of the ovary -hysterectomy in felines, through the multifunctional scale of unesp botucatu. The overpopulation and abandonment of felines is a very critical situation for defenseless animals, since in a short time the animal population has gone out of control again, causing a permanent situation of injustice, mistreatment and waste of public resources, today many The authors mention that there are statistical data on the increase in the feline population, which is a serious problem that exists for society, that is why owners are influenced and educated regarding these issues and thus avoid animal abandonment. Ovariohysterectomy is a technique that is used in female animals in both cats and dogs, which corresponds to the surgical removal of the uterus and ovaries, surgery is usually performed from 6 to 9 months, although it can be performed at any age. In this way, cats are controlled during heat, their behavior is usually annoying and by sterilizing them, this inconvenience would be eliminated. Which, the cat would stop meowing constantly, in the event that it is a domestic cat, it would stop peeing outside, trying to escape and, ultimately, the marking would end, due to the technique used. Many cats' habits change, and they tend to be more relaxed or calmer and, in general, their behavior improves. In addition, it is important to note that when subjected to this technique the animal reduces the inability to reproduce, it also decreases the incidence of estrogen-dependent problems, as well as reproductive disorders or pathological states that affect the organs related to reproduction which they are the diseases that cause the most deaths in these animals. For the preoperative period, weight measurement, physiological constants, weight measurement, heart rate, rectal temperature, peripheral blood pressure, capillary and mucosal refill time are performed. These indicators should be taken with the patient calm, without exerting movements that can stress the patient, so as not to have false parameters. 2% lidocaine was used for the abdominal cavity, the intraoperative analgesic effect was evaluated, 20 cats were used, which were subjected to octubrehysterectomy, of which 10 intra-abdominal lidocaine was applied and the rest were operated without intra-abdominal lidocaine, to then be evaluated postoperatively by the “unesp botucatu multidimensional scale”. In the postoperative period, the cats were kept under observation for 7 days, keeping them in a clean place, with food, water and hygiene so that they have an excellent recovery. Cleaning with iodized solution was carried out every day and placement of a healing agent was applied to the wound. And as medications, antibiotic penicillin was administered every 3 days for 7 days intramuscularly and as anti-inflammatory, meloxicam was administered in drops orally for 5 days and for pain, an ampoule of tramadol was applied intramuscularly for 3 days.
