Recognising the signs of pain in your pet

As September draws to a close, so too does Pet Pain Awareness Month, an annual campaign to inform and educate pet owners about the management of both acute and chronic pain in pets. Read on to learn about the differences between acute and chronic pain and to learn the signs of pain in cats and dogs.

Acute Pain Acute pain is typically obvious and distressing in pets and is usually a response to some kind of stimulus such as crushing or twisting or a tissue injury that is the result of a bruise, wound or surgical incision.

The rates of cancer in dogs are similar to the rates of cancer in humans and it has been estimated that between 800-900 out of every 100,000 dogs will develop cancer in their lifetime. The rate of cancer in cats is slightly less than this, but cancer is still responsible for 32% of all causes of death in cats.

This article aims to provide an outline of the most common types of cancer in dogs and cats, some of the symptoms of each type and other symptoms to be on the lookout for. It also explores treatment options, causes of cancer in pets and things that you as a pet owner can do to reduce your pet’s risk of developing cancer.
