摘要: A prospective clinical trial to compare the effects of age and reproductive status on postoperative pain was conducted in 145 female cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy using injectable anaesthesia. The were grouped appropriately: 60 kittens 4 months old (A) and, within adult group, 57 normal adults (nA) 28 who either pregnant or oestrus (rA). Pain assessed a simple descriptive scale (SDS; 0–3), dynamic interactive visual (DIVAS; 0–100 mm) mechanical nociceptive thresholds (MNT; N, 2 mm diameter probe) pre-operatively at 24 h postoperatively. Kittens had lower DIVAS areas under time curve SDS than (P 0.05). Data from nA rA not different >0.05). similar wound tenderness, but less affective adults, no effect.
