In this episode, host Alyssa Watson, DVM, is joined by Kris Kruse-Elliott, DVM, PhD, DACVAA, to talk about her recent Clinician’s Brief article, “Top 5 Analgesia Combinations for Common Surgical Procedures.” Dr. Kruse-Elliott takes what we already have in the clinic—opioids, NSAIDs, local anesthetics, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine—and explains how we can get them to join forces. She also shares useful details about how she puts these drugs to work in her own cases, including dosing, timing, and how oral medications fit in.
