Article Synopsis
- Guinea pigs are often used in research, necessitating effective pain relief methods due to potentially painful procedures.
- The study assessed the effectiveness of carprofen, extended-release buprenorphine, and their combination for managing postsurgical pain, revealing that multimodal analgesia offered better pain control.
- It was found that multimodal analgesia limited pain sensitivity and behavior for a shorter time than single analgesics, but weight loss in buprenorphine-treated animals indicates the need for careful analgesia selection.
