Veterinary pain management for exotic animals is improving, yet many still suffer. This review covers nociception, new analgesics, and administration techniques, highlighting ketamine for pain relief in small exotic mammals.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Welfare
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Increased understanding of pain mechanisms in animals.
  • Many small exotic animals remain undertreated for pain.
  • Challenges in pain management for unique small exotic patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review nociception and pain pathway intervention in small exotic animals.
  • To discuss newer analgesic drugs and novel administration techniques.
  • To explore the role of ketamine in pain management for these species.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on nociception.
  • Discussion of pharmacological interventions for pain.
  • Exploration of adapted drug administration techniques for small mammals.

Main Results:

  • Nociception and pain management strategies are detailed.
  • Newer analgesic drugs and innovative administration methods are presented.
  • Ketamine shows potential beyond its use as a chemical restraint for pain relief.

Conclusions:

  • Improved understanding necessitates better pain management in small exotic animals.
  • Novel analgesic approaches and administration techniques can enhance patient welfare.
  • Ketamine may be a valuable adjunct in multimodal pain therapy for exotic species.
