Feline Chronic Pain: Getting Cat Owners on Board
We have certainly come a long way, and followed the trajectory of recognition and treatment for these painful cats. However, all our education
and discussion is mute if the primary caretaker is not educated as well. Cat owners are vital in every facet of alleviating chronic pain, and
arguably the most important participant in the recognition and treatment process. Educating cat owners is truly a gift, providing them with
information, resources, and support will be the focus.
