Abstract
Being hospitalised is stressful for any canine patient and stress may be shown in physiological and behavioural responses (Druce, 2016), which may inadvertently increase wound healing time and immunosuppression (Scotney, 2010/2011). It is the job of the Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) to be able to recognise signs of stress and implement methods to reduce this. With a multitude of methods available, RVNs need to be able to adapt their care, assessing each individual and employing the method deemed most suitable.
