“…Once heart failure was ruled out in the cardiological evaluation, the patient was prepared for the anesthetic and surgical procedure. The anesthetic protocol in this case was consistent with hypnosis, muscle relaxation, monitoring of the autonomic system and adequate analgesia, therefore balanced anesthesia and multimodal analgesia techniques were used for better hemodynamic control during the surgical procedure (IMANI RASTABI et al, 2019). Typically, cats with thromboembolism undergoing a surgical procedure present many hemodynamic changes due to obstruction of blood flow caused by thrombosis, and these changes are a negative factor at the time of the anesthetic procedure (YILDIRIM; ALBAYRAK, 2023).…”

Feline aortic thromboembolism is a cardiovascular disease that affects the feline species, with acute paralysis being one of the forms of clinical presentation. The objective of this clinical case is to describe the clinical and therapeutic management of a cat with acute paralysis due to aortic thromboembolism. A general physical examination and complementary tests were performed to diagnose aortic thromboembolism and subsequent pharmacological treatment associated with the surgical intervention. It is concluded that it is possible to reverse acute paralysis due to thromboembolism through definitive diagnosis and initiation of thrombolytic treatment associated with the surgical procedure.

“…Other studies have described the saphenous nerve block using US guidance (9,12). To the authors' knowledge, only two veterinary studies on wild felids describe peripheral nerve blocks for the thoracic limb, respectively, blinded and with use of nerve stimulation (NS) (13,14), and one report on US-guided femoral and sciatic nerve block in a Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) (15).…”

Case Report: Ultrasound Sciatic and Saphenous Nerve Blocks for Tibial Malunion Surgical Correction in a Pediatric African Leopard (Panthera pardus)

Little information is available regarding ultrasound-guided locoregional anesthesia in non-domestic species. Locoregional techniques have been shown to reduce intraoperative anesthetic requirements and provide postoperative pain relief. Decreasing dosage of general anesthetics allows more stable cardiopulmonary function during anesthesia and reduces the probability of side effects. An 11-week-old African leopard (Panthera pardus) was referred for treatment of a malunion angular limb deformity secondary to a tibial and fibular fracture. The animal was scheduled to undergo angular correction of the tibia via closing wedge osteotomy and fixation with a locking plate system. Following preanesthetic medication and induction of general anesthesia, a saphenous nerve block (ropivacaine 0.5%; 0.15 ml/kg) was performed under ultrasound guidance and a sciatic nerve block (ropivacaine 0.5%; 0.15 ml/kg) was performed using ultrasound and a peripheral nerve stimulator. Intraoperative anesthetic plane was considered light, yet no abrupt cardiocirculatory changes were seen, nor was rescue analgesia required. This case report suggests that sciatic and saphenous blockade could therefore be recommended as part of a multimodal plan of analgesia for orthopedic surgeries in pediatric exotic felids.
