The purpose of this form is to collect data in order to create a Posture Analysis Report. This report will include markers that show postural changes that may be indicative of musculoskeletal issues that could be related to pain. Mills 2020 showed that up to 80% of dogs and cats with behavioral problems had underlying pain or medical issues. Your veterinarian can use the information in the Posture Analysis Report to aid them in determining whether your dog might be experiencing discomfort that could be affecting behavior.
It is best to closely observe your dog for 7 to 10 days before completing this form to ensure that you get an accurate assessment, as well as have the opportunity to collect the needed photos and videos.
