What does chronic pain look like with Dr. Tamara Grubb

About this episode

The episode discusses chronic pain in cats and how to recognize and manage it.

What does pain look like in cats? A new Purr Podcast with Dr. Tamara Grubb. Tammy is back for our second episode, and this time we do a deep dive into pain management in cats. Some of the signs are clear enough that even the most casual observer would notice, but cats are masters of concealment, and most of the time they hide their discomfort so well that even devoted owners and experienced clinicians can miss what is right in front of them. We talk about what to look for, how to think about pain assessment across different situations and life stages, and what we can do about it once we actually find it.
