Seventy-five kittens between the age of 8 and 16 weeks undergoing routine castration or ovariohysterectomy at an animal shelter were included. Two blood glucose measurements were analyzed per kitten after an overnight fast: a baseline reading prior to preoperative examination, and a reading immediately postoperatively. Predictors of the baseline and postoperative blood glucose levels were determined using multi-level mixed-effects linear regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Kittens, when fasted overnight, were not hypoglycemic (&lt;60 mg\/dl). No kittens exhibited clinical signs consistent with hypoglycemia. No kittens had a blood glucose &lt;70 mg\/dl postoperatively. Postoperative hyperglycemia (&gt;150 mg\/dl) was observed in 44% of kittens. The only predictor of fasted blood glucose levels was body condition score. The only predictor of postoperative blood glucose levels was the fasting blood glucose value.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overnight fasting prior to elective sterilization in 8- to 16-week-old kittens did not result in hypoglycemia. Concern regarding hypoglycemia after a prolonged fast in kittens may be unwarranted for short procedures in healthy animals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x17710590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,30]],"date-time":"2017-05-30T06:11:08Z","timestamp":1496124668000},"page":"344-348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Perioperative blood glucose concentrations in kittens following overnight fasting and gonadectomy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Danielle N","family":"Semick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie L","family":"Shaver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Animal Health Institute, College of Veterinary Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heather N","family":"Cornell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nancy C","family":"Bradley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Population Medicine, Animal Health Institute, College of Veterinary Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachael E","family":"Kreisler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Population Medicine, Animal Health Institute, College of Veterinary Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5326\/JAAHA-MS-5846"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-199301000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03006316"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5326\/JAAHA-MS-6399"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bpa.2006.02.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.249.2.165"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","first-page":"13","article-title":"Development and validation of a body condition score system for cats: a clinical tool","volume":"25","author":"Laflamme D","year":"1997","unstructured":"Laflamme D.
