The abundance and distribution of tick populations in Ontario, as well as the whole of Canada, has changed dramatically over the last decade. With unusually warm winters and other shifts in our climate, some pet owners are finding ticks on their animals in months outside the typical tick season.

However, given the vasodilatory effects of our anesthetic agents, hypotension is a common sequelae that does need to be addressed. With a multitude of drugs and techniques at our disposal, it can be hard to figure out where to even begin, let alone how to troubleshoot when things aren't working. Especially if this is not something you deal with regularly. So, to help make

Opioids, as a part of a well-balanced anesthetic or analgesic protocol, are a staple in veterinary clinics worldwide.
