  • Title: [Pain prevention and pain treatment in small and large domestic animals].
    Author: Sager M.
    Journal: Tierarztl Prax; 1993 Apr; 21(2):87-94. PubMed ID: 8488506.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this article is to emphasize the need for analgesic medication in animals in possibly painful situations, especially in the postoperative period. The two large groups of compounds used as analgesics--the opiates and the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)--are described with special reference to their pharmacokinetics, side-effects and toxicity, their mechanism of action, their indications and contraindications. Recommended doses of the different drugs available are given for the dog, the cat, the horse, the swine and the small and large ruminants.
