Clinical applicability of the Feline Grimace Scale: real-time versus image scoring and the influence of sedation and surgery.
Abstract
The Feline Grimace Scale (FGS) is a facial expression-based scoring system for acute pain assessment in cats with reported validity using image assessment. The aims of this study were to investigate the clinical applicability of the FGS in real-time when compared with image assessment, and to evaluate the influence of sedation and surgery on FGS scores in cats.
