From Agouti Rats to Zebrafish - Pain Recognition and Analgesic Techniques for Laboratory Animals
Webinar Description
Timely, accurate diagnosis and treatment of laboratory animal pain is remarkably important in the research setting as the predominant goal is to improve animal welfare and well-being; however, effects of the analgesic techniques and any unaddressed pain on study outcomes must also be considered. This discussion emphasizes the newest, yet most practical analgesic methods in laboratory animal species including novel and validated pain scoring systems, advances in clinical analgesic techniques, and the most useful analgesic agents and procedures to produce multimodal analgesia. Case studies will be presented. Information gained will be valuable for all veterinary personnel caring for laboratory animal species. Participants should obtain a deeper understanding of how to properly recognize and treat acute and chronic pain states in various laboratory animals using the most up-to-date clinically available analgesic techniques.
- The webinar will be recorded and available on the CALAS website to all registrants following the session.
