Understanding how to identify behaviours indicative of pain is essential for anyone involved in animal healthcare or veterinary care. Pain is a complex and subjective experience that can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life, yet it is often under-recognised, particularly when patients cannot communicate their discomfort verbally. By learning to recognise pain-related behaviours, professionals can ensure that pain is appropriately assessed and managed, leading to better patient outcomes and enhanced well-being.
