This excellent article is written for veterinarians, but it brings up a lot of important aspects of pain management that Tripawds parents can benefit from knowing about, such as:
- Asking your vet to show you how to recognize pain in your dog or cat
- Explains why taking videos for your vet is super important, and how to capture the behaviors vets want to see
- And why taking a multi-modal approach to managing pain is important
Take a look! It features 3 pain specialists we have interviewed here: Dr. Robin Downing, Dr. Mike Petty, and Dr. Tamara Grubb.
Pain points: Having a crucial conversation with pet owners
The chronic pain of osteoarthritis or other diseases was simply accepted in aging pets. Now that more is known about pain pathways and management, the one sticking point can be talking to clients about it and demonstrating a pet’s slowdown is pain-related, not simply an artifact of aging for which nothing can be done.
