Cat Osteoarthritis Pain Checklist Form

Please fill out this form as completely and accurately as possible so we can get to know you and your pet(s) before your visit.

Osteoarthritis pain can be a serious health problem for your cat. And cats hide almost everything, especially pain. You know your cat's playful ways and what she loves better than anyone. Changes in these behaviors could be signs of osteoarthritis pain. Your veterinarian relies on you to report changes in your cat's behavior for more accurate diagnoses. If it is found that your cat is showing signs of OA-related pain, helping your cat begins by talking to your vet.

COULD MY CAT HAVE OSTEOARTHRITIS?

This checklist will help your veterinary team identify your cat's activities and behaviors that might be signs of osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative joint disease that can be painful.

Think about your cat's activity in the past week. Check all of the signs that you've observed in your cat.

If you checked any of these changes in behavior, your cat may have OA-associated pain. Share these with your veterinarian healthcare team. They will fully evaluate your cat to confirm the diagnosis.

Your Cat's General Behavior History Can Be Helpful

Additional information that can be helpful to your veterinary team is your cat's behavior.

OA pain can affect cats of any age, and it has been seen in more than 60% of cats that are 6 years or older. If left untreated, the pain can become worse over time. This checklist is designed to help with the recognition of OA pain to help keep your cat happy and active. Your veterinary team will review the results of this checklist with you to identify if your cat might be suffering from OA. This checklist is not a medical diagnostic tool and is not intended to replace discussion with an animal healthcare professional. Discuss medical concerns with your veterinarian.
