BSAVA Congress Proceedings 2025Authors: Matt Rendle, Lisa Angell, Adina Valentine and Aoife RyanThis session discusses the following:
- Do pain scores work (in all species) - Pain scores are increasingly popular and being used for more and more species, but how should be use the opinion they give us to drive optimal clinical standards and welfare.
- Do we give too many opioids - Opioids are the most potent analgesic drugs we have available to us, but do we overuse them, and do we always factor in the side effects these drugs come with and how they alter the presentation of patient, painful or dysphoric?
- Why are we not as good at chronic pain as we are at acute pain - We normalise chronic pain, its often accepted as being a normal part of aging, and therefore less important to manage then acute pain, how do we improve this issue and therefore animal welfare.
