Abstract

Pleuritic chest pain from bacterial pneumonia is commonly reported in human medicine; however, studies investigating pain associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle are lacking. The objectives of this study were to assess if bacterial pneumonia elicits a pain response in calves with experimentally induced BRD and to determine the analgesic effects of flunixin transdermal.
