A 13-year-old female dog with severe separation anxiety received 5 µg of 1cp-LSD every three days for a month. The dog's anxiety score dropped from 29 (severe) to 14 (moderate) after treatment, with less destructive behavior and shorter vocalizations. One month later, improvement mostly held, though vocalization frequency increased. The lack of a control group means the observed changes could stem from the drug, owner expectations, or natural behavior shifts. Blinded studies with more dogs are needed to confirm whether microdosing 1cp-LSD helps canine anxiety.
Two anesthetic protocols for dog castration were compared: ketamine with dexmedetomidine (KD) and ketamine with propofol (KP). Both combinations provided effective anesthesia with similar intubation times (about 3 minutes). The KP group showed higher heart rate and blood pressure over time, suggesting better cardiovascular stability, but required additional top-up doses sooner (average 31 minutes sooner) and had lower blood oxygen levels (95.3% vs 97.7%). The KD group maintained higher oxygen saturation and needed fewer top-ups. The results indicate that while KP may offer better heart function support, it requires careful monitoring of body temperature and oxygen levels during surgery.
