Body condition score, body weight, age, hematocrit and total protein, duration of anesthesia and surgery, and time to extubation in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy after intraperitoneal administration of bupivacaine alone (BG) or bupivacaine-dexmedetomidine (BDG). Data presented as median (range) or mean ± SD where applicable. Values of p <0.05 were considered significant.
