Paranephric blockade with 0.5% solution of lignocaine
hydrochloride along with parenteral enrofloxacin (floxidin) in experimental nephritis in buffalo
calves showed an early recovery as compared to the treatment with lignocaine hydrochloride and
enrofloxacin alone. The physiological parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature)
returned to near normal level by day 10 and haematological parameters (total leucocyte count,
differential leucocyte count, haemoglobin and packed-cell volume) by day 13 in animals given
paranephric block alongwith antibiotics as compared to day 16 and 21 in antibiotic and
paranephric block alone administered animals. Various biochemical parameters (creatinine, blood
urea nitrogen, glucose total protein, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, urinary alkaline phosphatase
and gamma glutamyl transferase) returned to base level by day 16 in animals given paranephric
block along with antibiotics as compared to day 21 in paranephric block and antibiotic alone
administered animals.
