Whenever
procedures may cause more than momentary pain or distress, the researcher
must treat the animals with appropriate anesthetics/analgesics or other
assessments. Without adequate documentation, the researcher’s reason

IACUC will require the researcher to have the staff administer appropriate
anesthetics or analgesics. |
