Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After the success of the first edition, we are excited to launch the second edition of this Special Issue. We will again focus on the latest progress in veterinary anesthesia, analgesia, and perioperative pain management in gonadectomy procedures.
We invite submissions that showcase innovative approaches, clinical experiences, and experimental findings aimed at improving animal welfare and surgical safety.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel anesthetic and analgesic protocols;
- Minimally invasive versus traditional surgical approaches;
- Species-specific strategies for pain assessment and control;
- New pharmacological agents and delivery systems;
- Ethical and welfare considerations in surgical practice;
- Pain scoring tools and biomarkers of nociception.
We welcome original research articles, clinical trials, case reports, reviews, and perspectives.
Join us in advancing evidence-based strategies and shaping the future of veterinary surgical care.
