In veterinary medicine, pain relief after surgical procedures such as ovariohysterectomy (castration) is a major challenge. Effective pain management is crucial to ensure animal well-being and minimize postoperative complications. Various opioids are used here, which relieve pain through their effect on the mu-opioid receptors. In this article we compare the effectiveness of morphine, methadone and tramadol used in cats after neutering.
In this day and age, the well-being of our animal companions is of the utmost importance. As responsible pet owners and veterinary professionals, we always strive to relieve the pain of our beloved dogs and cats. In this context, local anesthesia has brought about a revolutionary change in veterinary practice. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the benefits, techniques, and recent advances of local anesthesia in dogs and cats.
Precise preliminary examination and planning before surgical procedures, especially tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in veterinary medicine, are crucial to understand the biomechanical conditions of the knee joint and to determine correct surgical measures. This includes a comprehensive assessment of the animal's joint anatomy, muscle function and body weight to ensure optimal functionality following the procedure. Detailed planning prevents postoperative complications and contributes to the animal's long-term health and mobility.
Apophysiolysis of the tibial tuberosity in dogs is a health problem that can occur in many dogs, especially those in the growing phase. This bone disease can significantly affect the animals' musculoskeletal system and often leads to visible discomfort.
