The ARC Policy on Survival Surgery in Mice, Rats, and Birds has recently been revised; the updated Policy is available at the Survival Surgery in Mice, Rats, and Birds web page.
Two changes have been made to the Policy regarding post-operative treatment cards:
- The Policy clarifies that post-op cards are to be used until treatment is discontinued or sutures/wound clips removed, whichever is longer.
- A new post-op card is provided.
