Course Information:
The primary purpose of this course is to provide a basic to intermediate
understanding of the principles of anesthesia and analgesia in avian, mammalian,
and reptilian wildlife. The course will include details on understanding analgesia
in non-domestic species and will review the latest, cutting-edge information on
research in this area. It will also cover the basics of pre-medications, induction,
and maintenance of anesthesia, along with monitoring and recovery in a variety of species.
