Anesthesia and Pain Medicine
Anesthesiology services
Cornell’s Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine service pioneers the development and clinical application of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia techniques, as well as cardiopulmonary monitoring. We collaborate closely with your pet's primary care team to develop individualized treatment plans. Additionally, we offer chronic pain management services, including interventional techniques like epidural, peripheral nerve, and joint injections.

Comparative Pain Program
One of the highlights of this program is the Pain Medicine Service, which consults with other hospital services on analgesic protocols and provides advanced pain management services on an in- or out-patient basis. These include epidural injection and catheterization, peripheral nerve blocks and catheters, neurolytic techniques, intravenous infusions of analgesic drugs, and joint injections. Our collaboration with Weill Cornell Medicine pain physicians allows us to offer animals many of the same techniques used in people.
