Zusammenfassung:In this study the authors aimed to compare the efficiency of carprofen, ketoprofen and vedaprofen for alleviating postoperative pain in bitches submitted to ovariohysterectomy (OH). Pre- and postoperative assessment of pain was made using serum levels of cortisol and glucose, the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the University of Melbourne pain scale (UMPS) in twenty-one bitches undergoing OH. Dogs were randomly assigned to one of three groups: vedaprofen at 0.5mg [kg.sup.-1], carprofen at 2.2mg [kg.sup.-1] or ketoprofen at 2.2mg [kg.sup.-1]. All analgesics were given orally 2 hour before surgery. Assessments were made before surgery and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-extubation. No dog of this study required additional doses of analgesics. There were no significant differences on serum cortisol and glucose concentrations among groups or from basal values, excepted one hour after extubation. No significant differences on pain scores were observed. It was concluded that vedaprofen provided as good a level of postoperative analgesia as carprofen and ketoprofen. Key words: NSAIDS, analgesia, carprofen, ketoprofen, vedaprofen, ovariohysterectomy, dogs. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a eficiencia do carprofeno, do cetoprofeno e do vedaprofeno no alivio da dor pos-operatoria em cadelas submetidas a ovariohisterectomia (OH) eletiva. Para tal, foram realizadas avaliacoes pre e pos-operatorias de cortisol e glicose sericos e foram usadas a escala analoga visual (VAS) e a escala da Universidade de Melbourne (University of Melbourne Pain Scale--UMPS). Vinte e uma cadelas foram distribuidas aleatoriamente em tres grupos de sete animais cada: vedaprofeno 0,5mg [kg.sup.-1], carprofeno 2,2mg [kg.sup.-1] ou cetoprofeno 2,2mg [kg.sup.-1]. Todos os analgesicos foram administrados pela via oral, duas horas antes da cirurgia. As avaliacoes foram realizadas antes da cirurgia e uma, duas, tres, quatro, cinco, seis, sete, oito, 12 e 24 horas apos a extubacao. Nenhum dos caes precisou de analgesia de resgate. Com excecao dos valores observados uma hora apos a extubacao, nao houve diferencas significativas nas concentracoes sericas de cortisol e glicose entre grupos ou quando foram comparadas aos valores basais. Tampouco houve diferencas significativas nos escores de dor entre as escalas usadas, nos tempos de avaliacao para cada grupo, nem entre os grupos. Concluiu-se que o vedaprofeno fornece analgesia pos-operatoria de qualidade similar a obtida com carprof
