Two macaques enrolled on IACUC protocol #XXXXX000238 had a bone marrow collection procedure performed on June 1st, 2023. The approved protocol includes both a long acting buprenorphine and 3 days of treatment with meloxicam for post-procedural pain control. The animals received analgesics per protocol on the day of the procedure, but did not receive meloxicam the following day. The missed dose of meloxicam was recognized by facility staff the next day who notified the facility veterinarian to evaluate the animals. Failure to administer post-operative analgesia in accordance with the protocol constitutes a significant change that did not undergo IACUC review and approval. This item was identified by the facility prior to inspection and corrective measures were implemented, which included a protocol amendment. To remain corrected after February 1st, 2024.
