The ovariohysterectomy was performed under atropine-xylazine-ketamine anaesthesia in 12 mongrel bitches. Oxidative stress was evaluated with analysis of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes before induction of anaesthesia, after induction of anaesthesia, after completion of surgery and after recovery from anaesthesia. Bitches undergoing ovariohysterectomy with this anaesthesia were under oxidative stress, which was present after induction of anaesthesia and increased after surgery with peak level at recovery from anaesthesia.
