Animal Pain

Course information provided by the 2024-2025 Catalog.

This course will build on the knowledge of pain in veterinary patients acquired in VTMED 5500 Animal Health and Disease (Foundation Course V). We will address the prevention, recognition, and treatment of pain across domestic and non-domestic species. Species-specific pain scoring systems will be introduced. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of adaptive and maladaptive pain will be presented, with an emphasis on pain management in primary care and emergency practice. Virtual attendance (or watching recorded lectures) is allowed. Grade is based on attendance, completion of online, case-based modules, and an open-book, case-based final examination.
