title: [Pain therapy in dogs and cats--clinical experiences with buprenorphine (Temgesic)].
abstract: Buprenorphine was used as a post-operative analgesic drug in 40 dogs and 30 cats. The analgesic properties of buprenorphine failed in 20% (dogs) respectively 23.3% (cats) of the cases even after high doses of 0.1 mg/kg in dogs and 0.01 mg/kg in cats. The unsatisfactory results were seen in fracture-patients with a concurrent severe tissue damage. Side effects even after high doses were of no clinical relevance.
