2. Figure 1
Postoperative pain determined by the Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale (CMPS-SF) over 5 days. Diagram contains data of 63 dogs in the postoperative period after hemilaminectomy. Dogs are treated with gabapentin (10 mg kg−1 orally every 12 hours) or placebo in addition to opioid background analgesia. Data are presented as box plots over time. The box contains the interquartile range (mean 50% of data). Whiskers show data from minimum to maximum. The horizontal line inside the box marks the median. *Significant (p < 0.05) difference to baseline value at 0.5 days.

3. Figure 2
Postoperative pain assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) over 5 days following hemilaminectomy in dogs treated with gabapentin or placebo in addition to opioid background analgesia. Data are presented as mean (SD). * significant (p < 0.05) difference to baseline value at 0.5 days.

5. Figure 4
Postoperative bladder function of 63 dogs for 5 days after hemilaminectomy. The first column of each time point represents the gabapentin group (GBP) (n = 31) and the second column the placebo group (P) (n = 32). Data are presented as percentages. *significant (p < 0.05) difference to baseline value at 0.5 days.

6. Figure 5
Postoperative cortisol serum concentrations at 24, 48 and 72 hours after hemilaminectomy. Data are presented as boxplots. The box contains interquartile range (mean 50% of data). The horizontal line inside the box marks the median. Whiskers show data from minimum to maximum.

7. Figure 6
Gabapentin serum concentrations at 24 and 72 hours post surgery in 29 gabapentin treated dogs versus pain score (shortform of Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale, CMPS-SF). Dogs are divided into two groups: serum concentrations above or below 3 μg mL−1. Data are presented as boxplots. The box contains interquartile range (mean 50% of data). The horizontal line inside the box marks the median. Whiskers show data from minimum to maximum.
