Zusammenfassung:An abstract of a study by Hempstead et al examining the effects of meloxicam (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and isoflurane (a general anesthetic) on the behavior of dairy goat kids following cautery disbudding is presented. The changes in behavior suggest that administration of either subcutaneous meloxicam or isoflurane gas was effective for reducing post-operative pain and distress associated with cautery disbudding in dairy goat kids.
