    Study Notes

    Medications Used in Animal Facilities

    • Animal facilities use drugs to ensure animal health and minimize pain and distress during procedures.

    • Anesthetics and analgesics are used to alleviate or prevent pain, while other drugs fight infections or kill parasites.

    • Drugs are prescribed by the veterinary staff and must be used for each animal on the study unless the veterinarian prescribes a change or the protocol is approved by the IACUC.

    • Personnel responsible for drug administration must be properly trained to avoid illness or death of the animal.

    • The same drug may cause different effects in various species due to their unique physiological characteristics.

    • Analgesics include opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and relieve pain through different mechanisms.

    • NSAIDs have the potential to injure the stomach lining and cause death in severe cases.

    • Steroids are a class of anti-inflammatory drugs commonly used in research as an immunosuppressant during organ transplantation studies.

    • Anesthetics cause a loss of feeling or awareness of pain and are classified as general, regional, or local.

    • Tranquilizers are used to calm and sedate animals and reduce the amount of anesthetic needed to produce anesthesia.

    • Vaccines are considered mandatory veterinary care under the Guide and are required before transport.

    • Controlled substances are drugs that are potentially addictive to humans, and the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulates their manufacture, possession, and use.Drug Use and Administration in Animal Facilities

    • Controlled substances have a potential for abuse and require strict storage, use, disposal, and recordkeeping rules.

    • Drugs can be administered orally, rectally, by injection, inhalation, or topically, depending on the animal and the medication.

    • The use of drugs must be authorized by a veterinarian, and facilities have standardized forms for animal treatment, health, and surgery records.

    • Health records document observations, treatments, and procedures, while surgery forms document anesthesia, animal monitoring, and the procedure itself.

    • Drug treatment records should include the drug name, amount given, date, and time, and should be written in pen and signed or initialed by the technician.

    • Errors in drug treatment records may need to be corrected and initialed, rather than erased.

    • Drugs must be stored correctly, used before their expiration date, and administered only under the direction of a veterinarian.

    • The decision to administer medication to research animals involves consultation between the clinical veterinarian and the investigator.

    • Different species may have unique physiological characteristics that affect their response to drugs, such as cats' sensitivity to opioids and NSAIDs.

    • Careful consideration must be given to the potential effects of drugs on experimental results.

    • Medications may be added to a water bath for fish or amphibians to absorb through their gills or skin.

    • Controlled substances are drugs that are potentially addictive to humans and are regulated by the DEA.

    • Expired drugs must be discarded or at least clearly marked as expired and stored separately from the drugs currently in use.

    • Proper drug storage conditions are essential to ensure safety and efficiency, and drugs can be administered orally, rectally, parenterally, by inhalation, or topically.Drug Use and Management in Animal Facilities

    • Various drugs are used in animal facilities, including analgesics, anesthetics, and drugs to combat infection or parasitic infestation.

    • Controlled substances are drugs that have a potential for abuse, and strict rules apply to their storage, use, disposal, and recordkeeping.

    • Health records document observations, treatments, and procedures on the animals, while surgery forms document the anesthesia, animal monitoring during and after surgery, and the procedure itself.

    • When drugs are administered, the record entry should state the drug name, the amount given, the date, and the time, and the technician should sign or initial the entry.

    • Errors must be addressed by correcting and initialing the mistake, not by erasing the entry, in some facilities.

    • It is important to store drugs correctly and use them before their expiration date.

    • The decision to administer a medication to research animals generally involves consultation between the clinical veterinarian and the investigator.

    • The same drug may cause different effects in various species due to their unique physiological characteristics.

    • Cats are very sensitive to the effects of opioids and NSAIDs, while penicillin can be fatal if given to guinea pigs but is not harmful to most other species.
