Up to 60% to 90% of cats were found to have radiographic joint changes consistent with osteoarthritis (OA) in a study (Lascelles, Hardie JAVMA 2002). Almost half of these have clinically detectable pain, but it is estimated we are only “finding” and treating ≈10% of this population. Why is this? The veterinary profession has a responsibility to educate owners on what chronic OA pain looks like in cats so they know when to seek our expertise to provide the care their cat deserves. Join us in this webinar, in which we’ll discuss chronic OA pain and its multifaceted aspects, including the mind–body connection and its importance in how the brain processes emotional and physical pain.
