Presented by Jordyn Boesch, DVM, PhD, DACVAA Founding Fellow - Pain Management

This lecture will review the various strategies, from systemic medications to advanced regional anesthetic techniques, utilized on an out- or in-patient basis to manage acute pain in horses due to surgery, trauma, colic, and other problems.
