ABSTRACT
Veterinarians are recognizing the need to give more clinical focus on
analgesia and functional restoration in their patients. This extends to
exotic animals, i.e., species not ordinarily seen in day-to-day practice,
though a different set of challenges arisewith this patient population
[1]. Nonetheless, many opportunities exist to help this subset of
the veterinary population recover from illness and trauma, reduce
discomfort, and heal from tissue damage [2].
