Pain in pets is critically important, but it is complex and scientifically intriguing. Both acute and chronic pain in pets can be clinically challenging and easy to overlook because of the ability of dogs and cats to mask and hide their pain from us. Pain management is essential medicine, and better pain management is better medicine. This webinar focuses on building an effective, multimodal pain plan for pets.
