Abstract

The use of Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) is gradually increasing in veterinary medicine, mainly in anesthesiology, as it is a drug that has analgesic and sedative properties with potential for neuro and cardioprotection. It plays a great role in anesthesia and multimodal analgesia, mainly for pain control in the trans and postoperative period, reducing the need and dose of other analgesic drugs, being effective for the treatment of pain control. This report describes the case of a female Fox Paulistinha dog, 11 years old, who underwent bilateral partial mastectomy where she was anesthetized using the Total Intravenous Technique with Propofol associated with the continuous infusion of Magnesium Sulphate with objective of evaluating the efficacy of the same in relation to analgesia in the intraoperative and postoperative period, reduction in the rate of infusion of the inducing drug and need for analgesic rescue.
