Improving Pain Control after Front Limb Amputation
The purpose of this study is to determine if a local anesthetic provides pain control and reduces the amount of opioid pain medication needed for patients undergoing front limb amputation compared with dogs not receiving the local anesthetic in their amputation surgical wounds.
