Practical Analgesic Techniques for Small Ruminants and Camelids

Abstract

While reviewing literature it became apparent to me that within the last five years, discussions have been increasing on methods to provide local and systemic analgesia for camelids and small ruminant patients. It is about time, as it is now quite obvious to me as an “old schooler” that this is a moral/ethical obligation, and pragmatically, comfortable patients seem to heal faster, experience fewer complications, and can be discharged sooner to a more favorable home environment.
