Abstract
New surroundings such as veterinary hospitals, preoperative settings and unfamiliar caretakers are perceived as stressful for dogs. The stress responses can have detrimental implications on their physiology and may confounds clinical parameters. Additionally, stressful dogs can be challenging to handle and pose serious occupational risks to veterinary personnel. Therefore, it is crucial to manage the stress by using practical and efficient methods. In current experiment, classical music therapy was used as an auditory stimulus to alleviate the preoperative stress in dogs. Six dogs were enrolled in this study. The heart rate, blood pressure, behaviour assessment and electroencephalogram (EEG) readings were recorded immediately as the dogs arrived as pre-music (T0). Then, classical music of chosen, ranged from 70-130 beats per minute (BPM) was played for over 20 minutes. Afterwards, the parameters were repeated and recorded as post-music (Tm). Stress evaluation was based on the quantitative heart rate, blood pressure, EEG and a verified Clinic Dog Stress Scale (CDSS). Results showed that music reduced the heart rate from 126±8.29 to 90±11.79. Blood pressure also decreased with systolic, diastolic and mean of 119.8±16.15, 65.4±19.90, 82.8±18.35 pre-music to 114.6±11.48, 58.6±8.44 and 77.2±9.68 post-music respectively. The Median Frequency (MF) for EEG decreased from 35.37±18.37 pre-music to 13.15±12.15 post-music. The EEG total power (Ptot) reduced from 31.36±16.43 to 21.83±1.51. The assessment of behaviour using CDSS scoring showed decrease of score for body posture (1.33±0.516 to 0.50±0.548), ear posture (1.67±1.506 to 0.33±0.516), gaze (2.50±0.837 to 0.83±0.408), respirations (2.00±0.894 to 0.50±0.837) and lips (1.67±0.516 to 0.17±0.408). Although the mean values decreased, no statistically significant differences were observed due to small sample size. Thus, the overall results of this study suggested that classical music therapy is effective in reducing the preoperative stress in canine undergoing elective surgery. The result of this study warrants future studies with larger sample size.
