Abstract:
Low-stress medication principles and techniques are key aspects of optimal health care delivery for birds and small mammals.

This review addresses both the effects and the disadvantages of using forceful, coercive, and fear-evoking methods as well as the benefits, principles, and possible applications of low-stress medication in the veterinary setting.
