The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative analgesic and antioxidant effects of butorphanol given in the preoperative or early postoperative period. Twenty-seven healthy female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy were randomly divided into three groups as before surgery group (BSG, n = 7) received butorphanol 30 min before preanesthetic administration, after surgery group (ASG, n = 10) received butorphanol during the last skin suture and the control group (CG, n = 10) received no butorphanol. Pain was assessed with short form of the Glasgow composite pain scale (CMPS-SF). Serum concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase ac-tivities (GPx) were quantified by spectrophotometric methods to assess oxidative stress status. The pain score increased rapidly at 1 h after surgery and then decreased gradually towards to 24 h in all groups. There was no statistical difference among the groups in terms of CMPS-SF scores (P > 0.05). Serum concentration of MDA was lower in ASG than in BSG and CG from 1 h to 24 h after surgery. Serum activity of GPx was higher in ASG than in BSG and CG from 2 h to 24 h (P < 0.05). Serum activity of SOD was higher in ASG than in BSG and CG from 1 h to 24 h after surgery (P < 0.05). Serum SOD activity at different time points in ASG did not differ compared to preoperative level though it decreased signifi-cantly from 1 h onwards both in CT and BSG. The results indicate that single butorphanol administration either before or after the operation might not provide sufficient analgesia, however, it seems that it has antioxidant potential and may protect tissues by reducing oxidative stress when administered early postoperative period following ovariohysterectomy.
