The management of perioperative pain can be performed by opioids, drugs that form the base of a balanced analgesic plane. the comparison of the analgesic effects of nalbuphine, butorphanol and morphine have never been investigated in dogs undergoing soft-tissue surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of intraoperative and early postoperative analgesia of nalbuphine, butorphanol and morphine in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy. Forty-eight healthy female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy were included in the study. All opioids promoted adequate intraoperative analgesia with minimal clinical differences between them. Overall, the four treatments do not provide effective adequate analgesia in the first 6 postoperative hours in most bitches undergoing ovariohysterectomy.
