Pharmacology, Rat Handling We are studying manual handling of rats. No doubt we have performed the experiments too but we have also fed them up through special techniques. Some of the techniques are much easy and a few are difficult for the rats that may cause their death. Peritoneal administration of drugs is quite painful for them. We may insert drugs in nuts that is favourite food for them. We may provide them food by handling through syringe without needle. We may also provide them with food under epithelium. It's so easy to perform but the rats selection is most important. We undergraduates avoid those rats that are under special clinical trials. We use those rats that are expelled from experiment chambers because they have be exposed to multiple drugs. They are used for such experiments. Precautions are necessary because rat bite may be dangerous for the handlers. #Yasmin #BeingPharmacist
