New Scientist: Is your pet in pain?

Animals are being misdiagnosed for pain. Don't believe it, well, there's a questionairre to complete so you can see:
Wiseman-Orr and Reid have designed a simple one-page questionnaire that can be used to evaluate whether a dog is in pain, an approach they say can be used to objectively evaluate the welfare of any animal in any setting.
You know, if my pet is in pain then I take it to my vet to be put down. That's the way to handle it. It's cold but it's the right thing to do.
