Description The study was conducted to evaluate physiological, haemodynamic and biochemical changes after epidural injection of bupivacaine alone or with buprenorphine for ovariohysterectomy in 12 dogs. The animals were divided into two groups, I and II. Premedication was done with atropine sulphate 0.04 mg/kg b.wt, i.m. followed by diazepam 0.3 mg/ kg b.wt, i.v. The general anaesthesia was induced and
maintained with propofol i.v. at 4 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg b.wt, respectively. Bupivacaine (0.5 mg/kg b.wt) alone was administered epidurally at lumbosacral space in group I animals
and bupivacaine (0.5 mg/kg b.wt) and buprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg b.wt) were administered in group II animals. The physiological, haemodynamic and biochemical parameters were recorded before sedation, after epidural analgesia, immediately
after surgery, 2 h and 6 h after surgery. Rectal temperature reduced significantly in both groups. Respiratory rate was significantly lower in both groups immediately after epidural
analgesia followed by a gradual increase up to 6 h. The mean heart and pulse rates significantly (P
