This case report demonstrates the successful use of an erector spinae plane (ESP) block for pain management in a rabbit undergoing spinal surgery. The ESP block provided effective analgesia, reducing the need for opioids during the perioperative period.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Anesthesiology
- Pain Management in Exotic Animals
- Regional Anesthesia Techniques
Background:
- Spinal decompression surgery in rabbits can cause significant perioperative pain.
- Effective pain management is crucial for successful recovery in rabbits undergoing spinal procedures.
- Current multimodal analgesia strategies may require optimization for rabbits.
