Pain Awareness for Goats and other Animals - Part 1

September is Animal Pain Awareness month! Animal Pain Awareness Month was established by the IVAPM (International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management) to coincide with the human medicine Pain Awareness Month, with the goal of educating animal owners about the signs of pain and what we can do to help our animal companions have an improved quality of life with the use of different modalities of pain therapy.


Pain management is a particular area of interest for me in all of the species I see as patients. Pain management in livestock and food animals in particular is challenging, but there is compelling evidence that mediating pain has physical and physiological benefits as well as just being nicer for the animals!


There will be at least one more episode about pain awareness this month. This episode focuses on what pain is, recognizing pain in different animals, and why we should care about mediating pain in our food animal patients. While I do talk about different species of animals in this episode, as usual, the focus is goats and how this affects them!

Pain Awareness for Goats & Other Animals - Part 2

So... I can apparently talk about pain and what we can do about pain in animals for a few minutes... This episode is Part 2 of what looks like is going to be a 3 parter for Animal Pain Awareness Month. In this episode, I largely focus on what we've got in our human medical bag to combat pain in our non-human species. As with the first pain awareness episode, I do talk a bit about other species besides goats, but largely this episode focuses on three major categories of drugs we have to prevent and/or decrease pain, and why some of them are more appropriate for goats than others.


There is going to be one more pain awareness episode coming your way next week!
