Evaluation reports lower pain scores in ovariohysterectomy dogs with intravenous lidocaine and saline, suggesting effective analgesic options.

Postoperative pain scores were significantly lower with both intravenous lidocaine infusion and the combination treatment compared to controls.
At 60 min, mean pain scores were notably lower at 1.2 for intraperitoneal and incisional lidocaine splash, 1.6 for intravenous lidocaine, and 3.0 for saline controls.
The analgesic treatments were applied in a randomized controlled trial involving thirty female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy.
Both treatments show potential as effective analyses for early postoperative analgesia, especially intravenous lidocaine infusion.

Chaoum et al. (2025) studied this question.
