Abstract

Pain is an unpleasant sensorial and emotional experience, which causes physiological changes in the animal, impairing the quality of life and prolonging the rehabilitation period, which is why veterinarians are constantly challenged to evaluate and treat pain. Anesthetic blocks reduce the need for general anesthetics and analgesics in the postoperative period, and for these reasons, they are widely used in large animals. This case report addresses the main blocks for enucleation of the eyeball, the drugs to be used in general anesthesia and a greater understanding of the technique.
