Pain and Problem Behavior in Cats and Dogs
ANIMALS, 10(2).
author keywords: adjunctive behavior; aggression; attention seeking; compulsive behavior; house-soiling; pain; pica; stereotypy
TL;DR:
It is concluded that, in general, it is better for veterinarians to treat suspected pain first rather than consider its significance only when the animal does not respond to behavior therapy, which is seriously limiting the recognition of this welfare problem.
