Veterinary pharmacology

Series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology

The human–animal bond has evolved and diversi?ed down the ages. Dogs, cats and even horses, have long ful?lled the role of faithful companion and indeed, as exempli?ed by the introduction of seeing and hearing dogs, there may be a critical level of co-dependency between the species. In the twenty-?rst century, the animal types that are kept as pets in many parts of the world are extensive ranging from reptiles through rodents to ruminants and beyond. As would be predicted by the nature of the relationship, the approach to treatment of a companion animal is often closely aligned to that which would have been offered to their owner. However, an increasing awareness of welfare issues, such as the recognition that animals expe- ence pain and the proven bene?ts of disease prevention in intensive farming units, together with the growth in zoos and wildlife parks, has increased the likelihood of food producing and non-domesticated animals receiving medicinal products during their life-time. Although many of the individual drugs or classes of drugs administered to animals are the same as, or derived from, those given to man, the safe and effective use of drugs in animals often cannot be achieved by simply transposing knowledge of drug action on, or behaviour in, the body from one species to another. The impact of the anatomical, physiological and pathophysiological variability that spans the animal kingdom can often profoundly alter drug response.

Reviews for Comparative and Veterinary Pharmacology

...an extremely topical and timely contribution to the debate on Art.82 of the EC Treaty...The value of the present 671-page volume is that it contains not only 22 papers but also the near verbatim exchange of views between lawyers, economists, judges and enforcement officials...this is a superb publication because of the breadth of talent and experience who have written so many incisive papers. Dr Vincent J G Power European Competition Law Review, Vol 27, Issue 9 Sept 2006
