- Title
Pain in reptiles: a review for veterinary nurses.
- Authors
Malik, Aneesa
- Abstract
Reptiles are very likely to have the same pain experience as mammals, as the structures involved with nociception and processing are homologous. However, there is a big difference in expressive behaviours of pain between reptiles and mammals. This makes pain assessment challenging. Difficulty in pain assessment, along with other factors, makes poor pain management a welfare issue in the veterinary and the wider reptile - keeping context. Research in reptile pain is very limited so far; this article aims to provide some basic information on assessing pain in reptiles.
