The RSPCA commissioned the development of the Guidelines for private practice veterinarians on anaesthesia and pain management in cats undergoing desexing as a current evidence-based resource to support private practice veterinarians in delivering safe and effective anaesthesia and pain management for cats; in particular, prepubertal and unsocialised cats.
The guidelines were drafted by Dr Gabrielle Musk (a specialist in veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia) and reviewed by other specialists in veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia, veterinarians in practices with a high feline case load, and members of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.
