Assessing & Addressing Pain
Research into pain in both the human and veterinary medical fields has caused a shift in focus to how we are treating pain in our veterinary patients. From identifying that our neonatal patients do, in fact, feel pain to the discovery that pain can actually inhibit healing, changes have been made to how pain is approached. Veterinary technicians play a major role in this approach as they are the ones who are observing and working with patients the most. Understanding how to identify pain is the first important step in helping our patients remain pain free.
