The clinical takeaway is that anxiolysis can be an important part of humane critical care, especially when anxiety is worsening patient distress or interfering with patient care.

A twenty twenty-four study titled Orally Administered Gabapentin and Alprazolam Induce Comparable Levels of Anxiolysis and Sedation in Cats by Virginia Papageorgiou et al.

evaluated sixty healthy female cats admitted for elective ovariohysterectomy.

Cats received gabapentin at a hundred milligrams per cat, alprazolam at zero point one two five milligrams per cat, or placebo ninety minutes before evaluation.

Twenty twenty-six, from this year.

And the, the title of the paper is Preoperative Oral Tacepimidine, that's Tacee, in Dogs Undergoing Elective Ovia- Ovariectomy, so that's spays, Anxiolysis, Handling Quality and Cardiovascular Effects.

But they actually look, um, at quite a bit more than that, and I, I thought w- we could just chat through this paper because that's exactly what we're talking about.

So it's the preoperative administration of Tacepimidine, which is an alpha-2 agonist, um, and it's in healthy dogs.
