Our cats need us to be aware of their pain and discomforts. Acupuncture can help! 🐈‍⬛☯️😌

Do you know how to tell if your cat is in pain? September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. Animals often express pain differently than people. Here are the most common signs of pain in cats; decreased activity, decreased appetite, and/or overgroom or licking a particular area.

In recognition of Animal Pain Awareness Month, here’s another look at Cornell’s Comparative Pain Program. The initiative was launched by Dr. Jordyn Boesch, anesthesiologist, pain management specialist and associate professor at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. The goal of the program is to offer unique treatment for pets with chronic pain or severe acute pain, while contributing to research that will advance our understanding of pain, test novel drug treatments and generally advance animal and human health.
