Abstract

Nowadays, conducting clinical practice means dealing with a wide range of animal species, whose availability on the market is becoming more common and interest among owners is growing, which is why reptile patients may appear more often in the surgery. Due to the completely different nature of these animals, distinguishing them from the world of our most frequent patients, that is mammals, you must have the appropriate expertise to help them in accordance with the accepted international standards. We will often need general anesthesia, not only for surgical patients.

The aim of this study is to familiarize the reader with the methods of conduct and methods of using analgesia and anesthesia in reptiles
