Abstract
Ongoing pain in dogs and cats presents specific challenges in terms of diagnosis, evaluation of pain, and response to treatment. Musculoskeletal pain represents a significant disease burden in veterinary species, with 20% of adult dogs and over 22% of adult cats demonstrating radiographic signs of degenerative joint disease.
