Abstract
PHOTOS 1,2: Patients that are unwell and that are in pain may become depressed. Giving the patient some extra attention and stroking it will allow the clinician to form a bond with the patient so that changes in behaviour or improvement in condition may be recognized quickly. Visits from nurses and owners and a favourite toy may be beneficial as it reassures the patient.
