A comparison of pre and post-operative vedaprofen with ketoprofen for pain control in dogs.

Background: This prospective randomized blinded clinical study aimed to investigate the potential of vedaprofen for preventive analgesia, comparing its analgesic effects with ketoprofen administered post-operatively in dogs undergoing maxillectomy or mandibulectomy.

Results: Pain control was effective and rescue analgesia was not necessary in any group. Pain scores were not significantly different between groups.
