内容説明
Pain control in animals is a matter of great concern. Less than half of all canine patients are routinely treated with analgesic medication post-surgically. Even fewer cats, horses and exotics receive this treatment. The veterinary practitioner's knowledge of the pathophysiology of pain and the options and limitations for analgesic therapy is often poor. This book covers both these topics as well as providing specific information on pain management in the dog, cat, horse and exotic species. The authors hope to provide the reader with the tools to more effectively achieve adequate pain relief in animals entrusted to their care.
