Chronic pain is unlike acute pain, it lasts beyond the time necessary for healing and resists normal treatment. The primary indicator of chronic pain is not how long it persists, but whether it remains long after it should have disappeared. No one patient feels pain in the same way and yet in veterinary medicine the patient pain is generally assessed based on a single standard. There is increasing focus in veterinary medicine on measuring and resolving pain and suffering.
