Hi,

Just wondering if anyone uses a pain assessment chart for cats in clinic, am wanting to devise one for clinic use but really not sure what to include. The dog one from Nick (thankyou muchly - under recovery chart) is brill so now this has kick started me to get the cat one sorted too.

Thanks

If you get stuck for the Animalcare stuff, then let me know and I'll sort it out (see my job!)

We have these and they are good and easy to use. Also last weeks (or 2 weeks ago) VNT i think had a good article on pain assessment in cats - it was linked to a metacam ad so may have been Vet Times - sorry can't remember which one and they are at work so can't check!
