analgesia; analgesics; anesthesia; cats; medicine; metabolism; ownership; pain; pain assessment; patients; physical health; surgery
Abstract:
... Increases in cat ownership worldwide mean more cats are requiring veterinary care. Illness, trauma and surgery can result in acute pain, and effective management of pain is required for optimal feline welfare (ie, physical health and mental wellbeing). Validated pain assessment tools are available and pain management plans for the individual patient should incorporate pharmacological and non-pharm ...
