This month our focus is on recognising feline pain. Yaiza Gomez-Meijas is joined by Beatriz Monteiro to discuss the feline grimace scale. Clare Rusbridge then joins Nathalie Dowgray to discuss neuropathic pain in cats.
Our episode begins with Yaiza interviewing Beatriz about her findings from a large bilingual global survey assessing if cat caregivers reliably assess acute pain in cats using the Feline Grimace Scale, an innovation that led to Monteiro winning the JFMS Best Resident Paper Award. The method allows both veterinarians and cat caregivers to evaluate pain based on facial expressions, aiming to bridge the gap between professional
veterinary assessments and at-home care for felines.
Nathalie is then joined by Professor Clare Rusbridge who shares insights into her recent JFMS article on Neuropathic pain in cats: Mechanisms and multimodal management. She highlights the importance of distinguishing between nociception and pain perception and discusses diagnostic challenges and management strategies for conditions like osteoarthritis and feline hyperesthesia syndrome.
