Acute pain elicits species-specific behaviors. For example, a horse with colic will paw, roll, and look at its flank; a rodent will produce ultrasonic vocalizations. However, chronic pain is subtler. In dogs with osteoarthritis, owners report decreased activity, reluctance to jump, and increased aggression when touched. The Canine Brief Pain Inventory and the Feline Grimace Scale translate these behaviors into quantifiable metrics. A 2020 study found that grimace scales in rabbits had a 85% sensitivity for post-operative pain, outperforming heart rate alone.
