Ovariectomy (OVE) is a routine surgical procedure for sterilization in small animal practice. The study was carried out in 12 female dogs presented to College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Aizawl, for elective sterilization were divided into group COVE and group LapOVE, with six animals each. Conventional open ovariectomy was implemented in group COVE while laparoscopic ovariectomy was done in group LapOVE. Blood samples were collected at regular intervals to estimate C-reactive protein (CRP), cortisol, aspartate amino transferase (AST) and blood glucose level. Significant variations were noticed in CRP, cortisol and AST between the groups. Significant changes were observed in serum glucose level within both groups during and after the time of surgery as compared to baseline. Findings of the present study suggest that laparoscopic ovariectomy causes less tissue damage, muscle trauma and post-operative pain than conventional open ovariectomy in female dogs.
