Information was gathered on demographics, analgesia prescription, pain assessment and attitudes surrounding specific analgesics. Respondents assigned a pain score ranging from 0 to 10 for various conditions; these were averaged to give each respondent an \u201caverage pain score\u201d.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data from 153 respondents were included for analysis. The majority of respondents were female (68%). There was no obvious effect of gender on practice type, with approximately half of respondents working in equine exclusive (50.3%) or mixed (49.7%) practice irrespective of gender. Butorphanol was the most frequently used opioid, with 25.5% and 39.2% of respondents using it \u201cevery day\u201d and \u201ca few times a week\u201d, respectively. The use of nonsteroidal anti\u2010inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was diverse, with phenylbutazone, flunixin and meloxicam being the most administered. Formal pain scales were infrequently used, with more than 35% of respondents reporting no pain scale being utilised commonly. In response to various clinical scenarios, veterinarians graduating less than 10\u2009years ago were more likely to assign high average pain scores compared to respondents graduating more than 10\u2009years ago (78.0% vs. 66.0%, respectively). Female veterinarians were more likely to assign high average pain severity scores than males (73.0% vs. 60.0%, respectively). However, in the multivariable analysis, none of the predictors were found to be statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This survey demonstrates that demographic factors influence the attitudes of Australian equine veterinarians regarding pain and there may be opportunities to educate and optimise pain assessment and protocol choices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/avj.70059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,6]],"date-time":"2026-02-06T02:16:13Z","timestamp":1770344173000},"page":"287-297","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Survey describing the perspectives and practices of Australian veterinarians to pain management in horses"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"A","family":"Whitelock","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences The University of Queensland  Gatton Queensland 4343 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"W","family":"Goodwin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences The University of Queensland  Gatton Queensland 4343 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Dryburgh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Australia  78 Waterloo Rd North Ryde New South Wales 2113 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"PP","family":"Mshelbwala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences The University of Queensland  Gatton Queensland 4343 Australia"},{"name":"Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development  105 Prince St Orange New South Wales 2800 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Rae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Australia  78 Waterloo Rd North Ryde New South Wales 2113 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Marwedel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Australia  78 Waterloo Rd North Ryde New South Wales 2113 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Lok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Randwick Equine Specialists  Horsley Park New South Wales 2175 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Kemp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences The University of Queensland  Gatton Queensland 4343 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"AJ","family":"Stewart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences The University of Queensland  Gatton Queensland 4343 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"MatthewsNS CarrollGL.Review of equine analgesics and pain management.
