Abstract

A study was carried in 12 bitches presented to Veterinary College Hospital, Bangalore, for elective ovariohysterectomy. They were divided into group A and group B, with six bitches each. Bitches of Group A were sterilized by conventional method of ovariohysterectomy by left flank approach, and Group B bitches were sterilized by laparoscopic method. Blood samples were collected at regular intervals to estimate C-reactive protein (CRP), serum cortisol, blood glucose and aspartate amino transferase (AST) level. Significant elevation of CRP, blood glucose and AST levels were noticed in bitches of Group A compared to laparoscopic Group B. Serum cortisol level was elevated for longer period of time in Group A bitches compared to Group B. This study suggests that laparoscopic method of ovariohysterectomy causes less tissue damage, trauma and post-operative pain than conventional method of ovariohysterectomy in bitches
