This free Veterinary CPD Podcast is produced by the Vetfolio. Dr Cassi (DVM) talks toDr. Margaret Gruen about the tools available to screen for and monitor DJD and OA associated chronic pain in cats.

We hear evidence that suggests that DJD and OA is underdiagnosed in cats, with 50% of cats over 10 showing signs of associated chronic pain.  Dr Margaret Gruen discusses using the Feline Musculoskeletal Pain Index (FMPI), owner checklists, and owner videos to identify and monitor DJD/OA.
