  • Title: Advancements in Evidence-Based Analgesia in Exotic Animals.
    Author: Balko JA, Chinnadurai SK.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract; 2017 Sep; 20(3):899-915. PubMed ID: 28781040.
    Abstract:
    The importance of appropriate recognition, assessment, and treatment of pain in all veterinary species, including exotic animals, cannot be overstated. Although the assessment of pain perception in nondomestic species is still in its infancy, this does not preclude appropriate analgesic management in these species. Although analgesic drug selection is often based on data extrapolated from similar species, as the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of many drugs can vary greatly between species, an evidence-based approach to analgesic therapy should be used whenever possible. This article provides an overview of recent advances in evidence-based analgesic management in companion exotic animals.
