Controle farmacológico da dor em equinos com laminite aguda revisão de literatura

Abstract

Inability to control pain is the most common reason for treatment failure and euthanasia in cases of laminitis, however, pain also has a physiological protective function in these cases, especially in the acute phase of the disease, when lamellar integrity is weakened. Successful analgesia requires an understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, the sources of pain in laminitis, methods of pain assessment and methods of analgesia. This paper discusses pain control from analgesic drugs with specific reference to the case of acute laminitis.
