NMBD & swine Flashcards
When are NMBDs mostly indicated in veterinary medicine?
For open eye sx,
To position eyeball centrally w/o traction
- aid for intraocular or corneal sx
Where are the inj. Sites for swine?
IM - 2-3 in. Long needles, pass through fat to avoid fat.
- behind ear neck muscle, using butterflies, avoid restraint
SQ- in skin fold of rear leg
How long do adult pigs need to be fasted?
What happens if improper fasting?
12-24 hrs
1.) gas accumulation -> dissension -> inc. P on diaphragm , impeding ventilation
2.) inc. risk of vomiting, regurgitation, aspiration .
How long should piglets be fasted?
They should be held from suckling 2-3 hrs; prone to hypoglycemia
How long should mini pigs be fasted?
Up to 12 hrs
When are anticholinergics indicated in swine?
They are usually not given routinely.
Unless bradycardia warrants
Used to counteract S.E. Provided by ketamine (usually) & Telazole (might) -> salivation
So atropine is used to minimize secretion unless suction is available at intubation

What is the Butyrophenone used in swine for sedation?
Azaparone
- It is the only approved tranquilizer in U.S.
- dec. anxiety & fighting amongst pigs (lower dose)
- sedation (at higher dose)
Which drug would you worry about PENILE PROLAPSE when given at higher dose in boars
Azaparone (Butyrophenone)
What species is most resistant to alpha 2 agonists?
Swine
What is the alpha 2 agonist used in swine? What do you need to consider when using alpha 2 agonist in this spp.?
Xylazine
Since pigs are the most resistant spp. To alpha 2, Xylazine does not provide good sedation when used alone and it may also cause vomiting …
Therefore, pair with KATAMINE to provide short term restraint (20-30 min)
