Laboratory animals, including dogs, play an important role in
biomedical research and medical advances. Dogs have a long history
of use in research and have contributed enormously to the health
and welfare of both humans and animals. The humane care and
management of these animals is a fundamental component of their use
in medical research.
The Laboratory Canine clearly presents basic background
information covering subjects that apply specifically to dogs used
in research settings, such as basic biological features, husbandry,
management, veterinary care, experimental methodology, and
resources. The book offers guidance on performing a detailed
physical examination, including necessary veterinary supplies,
clinical signs of illness, clinical conditions, and reference
tables of widely used veterinary drugs. It discusses the
human-animal bond or the relationship between people and animals
and its significance and importance to the quality of research, the
health of the animals, and the emotional health of staff caring for
or working with animals. It also examines anesthetic and surgical
procedures that include pre-, intra-, and post-anesthesia/operative
monitoring. The Laboratory Canine contains reference charts for
monitoring patients through post-operative recovery and reference
tables for anesthetics and analgesics.
Because dogs are a highly visible species in the eyes of the
public and regulators, it is important that individuals working
with laboratory canines have the proper training and experience.
This valuable resource is ideal for those charged with the care and
use of canines in a research setting.
