Anesthetic and analgesic management of Svalbard rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta hyperborea) undergoing experimental stereotaxic neurosurgery
This study demonstrates the feasibility of stereotaxic neurosurgery in Svalbard rock ptarmigan by employing rigorous perioperative monitoring and a carefully tailored anesthetic-analgesic regimen. These results provide valuable guidance for future experimental procedures, improving both animal welfare and the reliability of neurosurgical research techniques in avian species.
