For use in mice: draw up the buprenorphine SR with a 25g or 27g needle attached to a 1cc low waste syringe (alternatively, use a 28g insulin syringe) and wipe needle off with an alcohol swab to To describe the procedure for administering a non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NSAID) in adult mice and rats to provide pain relief (analgesia) and/or reduce inflammation in cases of mild to moderate pain

Although meloxicam is widely used as an analgesic for labo-ratory mice (Flecknell 2018), no regimen has proved to be generally efective because of diferences in experimental procedures and study design, and the strain and sex of the Vol

Mice 5 mg/kg SQ, twice a day as reasonably as possible to 12 hours apart Mice 2-4 mg/kg SQ, every 24 hr Comparison of the overall results indicated that meloxicam and buprenorphine, at the dose given, appear to be suitable postoperative analgesics for partial hepatectomy in mice
1 mg/kg buprenorphine, 8 h after the first administration
The use of IV meloxicam has been evaluated in the past by Rømsing et al

Fluids were not given after surgery, anesthesia was not reversed, and the cage of recumbent recovering mice was placed under a heat lamp
For use in mice: draw up the buprenorphine SR with a 25g or 27g needle attached to a 1cc low waste syringe (alternatively, use a 28g insulin syringe) and wipe needle off with an Carprofen or Meloxicam tabs (Bioserv®) PO: q24h: Administration based on manufacturer recommendations
Serious gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcerations, and perforation: NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious GI adverse events, including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal
Meloxicam works by blocking the effects of the enzymes cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 which prevents prostaglandin synthesis

Mice were euthanized at either 7 or 14 d after injection and underwent postmortem analysis
To use ketamine alone, 85-200 mg/kg, xylazine alone 4-12mg/kg and acepromazine Introduction
When buprenorphine was combined with meloxicam, administering up to 5 mg/kg/day of meloxicam for 48 h to male mice (7 mice per group) after abdominal surgery did not significantly affect food intake, body weight, nest consolidating and burrowing behaviors, or gastric and duodenal tissue histology in a negative manner
Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve the symptoms of arthritis (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain

Pain, 130 Context: Surgery-induced neuroinflammation has been implicated in the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)
4 Commonly used dosing regimens for carprofen and meloxicam in mice are 5 mg/kg every 12 to 24 h and 1 to 2 mg/kg every 12 h, respectively
Mice only underwent one surgery, and equal numbers of male and female mice were tested in each cohort
Stereotaxy or stereotactic surgery was devised to target discrete regions of the brain by knowing their spatial Mice injected with DMSO vehicle control (control) or Meloxicam were subjected to 70% hepatectomy, 80% hepatectomy, or sham surgery, which were performed as previously described 15-17

In addition, 14- to 16-week-old DIO mice were treated with intraperitoneal injection of 15 mg/kg meloxicam 48 hours and 24 hours prior to surgery and then subjected to

Thus, this study aims to assess the effect of meloxicam on mouse open field activity
Surgery began at 9am and required up to 3 hours depending on numbers, and lasted between 15 and 20 minutes for each mouse
