| dc.description.abstract | Objective: To compare stress indicators in cats with and without TR and/or FCGS before their onset.
Design: Retrospective case-control study with a prospective control group.
Animals: 31 cats diagnosed with FCGS, 38 cats diagnosed with TR and 24 cats with no dental problems
Procedures: Through comparison of completed surveys between the dental diseased groups and the control group, differences in means were investigated. The control group were clinical and radiographic examined before they were allowed in the control group.
Results: 18 significant values passed the Bonferroni correction. These values shows a tendency of discrepancy in social desirable behavior before onset of FCGS and TR, including higher estimated stress and pain levels.
Conclusions: This study did not find convincing evidence that cats in the Netherlands with FCGS and/or TR were subjected in the past to more stress than cats without these dental conditions. Although there is a tendency of social desirable discrepancy before onset of TR and FCGS, which could be related to household-stress. | |
