Oral transmucosal buprenorphine provides short-term potential analgesia to domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) when compared to intramuscular buprenorphine
OTM and IM buprenorphine both reached theoretically analgesic plasma levels in ferrets, but a short half-life may limit clinical applications of the OTM route.
