When a doctor treats a patient they’re able to check how the treatment is going by asking the patient how they’re feeling as well as running other tests to check whether the treatment is improving things. As a vet, I’m not able to ask my patient how they’re feeling, so in addition to running tests which can confirm things, I have to rely on owners being very observant and being able to tell me, based on the way their animal is behaving, whether the animal is doing better or doing worse. This can be difficult if the animal is tricky to observe (for example, if a cat goes outdoors for many hours a day, where the owner can’t see them or if the animal is good at hiding its feelings, for example, some people think that donkeys don’t feel pain but actually they are just very subtle in the ways that they show this and we don’t always pick up on those signs)
