"Early" is the New Standard in Pain Management. What does that look like in reality?

Speaker:
Dr. Conny Mosley, Dr.med.vet., DACVAA, CVA, Veterinary Consultant Pain & Internal Medicine Elanco AH Canada & Director Canadian Association of Veterinary Cannabinoid Medicine
Description:
The 'reactive' model of veterinary pain management has been challenged and we are seeing a shift towards proactive and preventative care. Hidden sources of chronic pain - like dental disease or OA- often go undetected for too long and the 'cost of waiting' is too high. How can we get more owners aware of this, detect the signs of pain and understand the long-term consequences of chronic pain on physiology and behaviour. What tools do we have as vets to support these pets and their owners throughout these years?
This lecture is addressing some of these challenges, including owner communications, early detection, treatment result assessment and updates on treatment management with additional coverage of cannabinoids and select supplements.
