Fifty‐four noncesarean cases in which epidural analgesia was used as the primary control of surgical pain in the dog are presented. The technique, indications, mechanisms of action, advantages, and disadvantages are discussed. Our experience with this proven technique has shown epidural analgesia to be an effective, practical, and simple means of operative pain control with wide application beyond the usual indication of cesarean section.
