“…• Xylazine 0.1 mg/kg IM • Midazolam (0.2-0.3 mg/kg) + Ketamine (6 mg/kg) IV While local anesthesia is recommended when disbudding cattle, injectable and topical local anesthetics are not effective for disbudding pain management in goats. 2 However, both xylazine and ketamine do carry analgesic properties as well as sedation. These are short-acting protocols which allow for 15-20 minutes of heavy sedation.…”

Horns are one of the few defense mechanisms that goats are equipped with and they can be useful for animal restraint. However, keeping livestock with horns can present safety concerns to producers, animals and infrastructure. Horns can become caught in fencing resulting in animal distress. They can also be used to cause harm to other livestock and humans or may be used to damage feeders, buildings or fences. Some producers may wish to mitigate these challenges by removing the horns or preventing them from growing at all. Veterinarians play an integral role in ensuring that this procedure is accomplished as efficiently as possible and that appropriate analgesia is utilized. Disbudding and dehorning of sheep is not recommended at any age unless the immediate health and welfare of the animal is at stake (i.e. horn trauma).

Farm animals are routinely subjected to painful husbandry procedures for various purposes. Goat kids are disbudded to improve goat welfare and to ensure safety of other livestock, farm personnel, attending veterinarians and for various other production and managemental procedures. Disbudding is commonly performed on dairy goat farms, in kids under 3 weeks of age. Many scientific studies reported physiological and behavioural changes indicating pain and distress following disbudding, and this can be a significant cause of welfare compromise in goat kids. Recognition and measurement of pain is important to treat and/or manage pain and distress following painful procedures. This review focuses on pain assessment in goat kids following disbudding, using both physiological and behavioural measures. As only a limited information is available on the topic of interest, relevant studies in other young farm animals have also been discussed to compare the status quo in goat kids.

“…PHN is defined as skin-distributed pain that persists for at least 3 months after acute HZ (Salvetti et al, 2019 ). The treatment for PHN focuses on symptom control, including the use of topical lidocaine or capsaicin and oral gabapentin, pregabalin, or tricyclic antidepressants (Hempstead et al, 2020 ; Kopel and Brower, 2020 ), as well as the improvement of immunity and antiviral treatments (Huning et al, 2019 ; Hunter et al, 2020 ). The analgesic effects of traditional treatments have not been reported to have good efficacy among PHN patients with older age, serious skin lesions, or long disease courses.…”

Management of Immunity Alteration-Induced Chronic Pain During the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was identified at the end of 2019, has become a widespread, global public health crisis, raising many concerns (Khan et al., 2020). According to the newest data from the World Health Organization (WHO), global SARS-CoV-2 infection cases have reached 18.6 million, with the reported deaths of more than 700,000 individuals (WHO, 2020). Coronaviruses are enveloped, positive-stranded RNA viruses, with an average diameter of 100 nm. The genome length of most coronaviruses ranges from 26 to 32 kb. Coronaviruses can infect various vertebrate species, including bats, dogs, and humans (Fan et al., 2019; Sit et al., 2020). Since the start of the Twenty one century, humans have encountered coronavirus outbreaks three times: severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV-1), in 2003 (de Wit et al., 2016), Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV), in 2008 (Hemida et al., 2020), and SARS-CoV-2, in 2019 (Wu F. et al., 2020). Genetic comparisons have indicated 79.5% similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV, and the similarity is up to 96% between SARS-CoV-2 and a coronavirus strain isolated from bats (Zhou et al., 2020). According to the structural and genome-wide association studies, SARS-CoV-2 can more easily infect and replicate in host cells than other coronaviruses (Gussow et al., 2020; Yan et al., 2020). SARS-CoV-2 infections are responsible for the ongoing, global COVID-19 pandemic, which has a fatality rate between 2 and 4% (Weiss and Murdoch, 2020). SARS-CoV-2 infections result in major impacts on the human respiratory system (
