Course Focus and Learning Objectives
VetCE on Demand: Analgesia in Small Mammals: Case Studies for Pain Management utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name. As prey species, most small mammals are adept at hiding signs of illness or pain until late in the disease process. Additionally, they commonly present for surgery or procedures that necessitate analgesia. Therefore, identifying a painful small mammal is important in the management of many diseases. This course discusses updates on analgesia in small mammals focusing on medication selection and practical application. As analgesia is commonly included in procedures, this course also covers aspects of small mammal anesthesia or sedation. After completion of this course, the student should be able to: outline how to identify a painful small mammal patient and discuss monitoring protocols within the practice explain how to construct a species-specific analgesic plan for a small mammal patient discuss anesthetic or sedative considerations for small mammal patients with owners and care teams outline potential adverse effects that may occur with the use of analgesic protocols
