Table 2.
Number of animals that received additional dipyrone injections during the first seven days (a) after the 1st surgery (days 1–7) and (b) after the 2nd surgery (days 29–35). Dipyrone injections were given according to the observers’ assessment of analgesic requirements (DARAO). The numbers are shown separately for the bile duct ligation (BDL) and sham group
