Yaiza Gomez-Meijas is joined by Beatriz Monteiro to discuss the feline grimace scale. Clare Rusbridge then joins Nathalie Dowgray to discuss neuropathic pain in cats.\nOur episode begins with Yaiza interviewing Beatriz about her findings from a large bilingual global survey assessing if cat caregivers reliably assess acute pain in cats using the Feline Grimace Scale, an innovation that led to Monteiro winning the JFMS Best Resident Paper Award. The method allows both veterinarians and cat caregivers to evaluate pain based on facial expressions, aiming to bridge the gap between professional\nveterinary assessments and at-home care for felines.\nNathalie is then joined by Professor Clare Rusbridge who shares insights into her recent JFMS article on Neuropathic pain in cats: Mechanisms and multimodal management. She highlights the importance of distinguishing between nociception and pain perception and discusses diagnostic challenges and management strategies for conditions like osteoarthritis and feline hyperesthesia syndrome.\nFor further reading material please visit:\nCan cat caregivers reliably assess acute pain in cats using the Feline Grimace Scale?\nThe Feline Grimace Scale Website\nNeuropathic pain in cats: Mechanisms and multimodal management\nAAFP and ISFM Feline Environmental Needs Guidelines\nClare's Youtube Channel\nView The Transcript Here\nFor ISFM members, full recordings of each episode of the podcast is available for you to listen to at portal.icatcare.org.
