Veterinary thermography, or Digital Thermal Imaging (DTI), is a non-invasive screening tool that measures skin surface heat to map blood flow and nervous system activity. Because animals naturally hide discomfort, this technology helps clinicians pinpoint the exact location of hidden pain and inflammation before confirming the specific cause with traditional imaging like X-rays. Can you see the differences before and after treatment?

La termografía veterinaria, o Imagen Térmica Digital (DTI), es una herramienta de detección no invasiva que mide el calor de la superficie de la piel para mapear el flujo sanguíneo y la actividad del sistema nervioso. Debido a que los animales ocultan el malestar por naturaleza, esta tecnología ayuda a los clínicos a localizar con precisión el punto exacto de dolor e inflamación ocultos antes de confirmar la causa específica con imágenes tradicionales como los rayos X. Puedes ver la diferencia antes y después del tratamiento?

One of the greatest challenges in small animal veterinary medicine is diagnosing discomfort in patients who cannot speak. Because companion animals—particularly dogs, cats, and small mammals—instinctively hide discomfort as a survival mechanism, pain often remains undiagnosed until a condition becomes advanced.

Uno de los mayores desafíos en la medicina veterinaria de animales pequeños es diagnosticar el malestar en pacientes que no pueden hablar. Debido a que los animales de compañía —particularmente los perros, gatos y pequeños mamíferos— ocultan el dolor por instinto como un mecanismo de supervivencia, el dolor suele quedarse sin diagnosticar hasta que la condición está muy avanzada.

Would you like to know if your pet suffers from chronic pain?

Veterinary thermography is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses infrared cameras to detect heat patterns and blood flow in body tissues. Because animals cannot communicate the exact location or nature of their pain, thermography acts as a “map” that guides veterinarians to areas of physiological activity. Thermogram image from a Dachshund with no lower back pain but chronic digestive issues. Red area indicates increased circulation on the area corresponding to digestive organ systems.

La termografía veterinaria es una herramienta de diagnóstico no invasiva que utiliza cámaras infrarrojas para detectar patrones de calor y el flujo sanguíneo en los tejidos corporales. Debido a que los animales no pueden comunicar la ubicación exacta o la naturaleza de su dolor, la termografía actúa como un “mapa” que guía a los veterinarios hacia las áreas de actividad fisiológica. La image arriba es de un paciente Dachshund que no padece de dolor de espalda lumbar peri si de problemas digestivos crônicos. Lá área em rojo indica aumento de circulação en la área corresponde a los órganos del sistema digestivo.

What if we could give voice to our fury friends with a simple method of just taking pics of them? Pics that can show us, objectively, if they are feeling pain but are not showing us any signs yet. Pics that can illustrate the level of discomfort and also the progress of their treatments. Sounds good right? Yes, it is possible now, at Dao Dog & a tiger Cat. Stay tuned.

Emergency case today, worth sharing it. Young male squirrel attacked by a cat. Wildlife rescue center rejected receiving this case. A client brought him to DDTC center. After pain meds, steroids patient was still in shock and hyperventilating. A little emergency acupuncture got him calm and relaxed. After 30 min patient tried to escape, bit my finger, but after he felt
the intention of healing love he finally surrendered and fell asleep in the little rehab cage we have for him. Goal is to release him in 5 days. Treatment plan: pain meds, antibiotics, laser therapy for the wounds and of course tons of love.

Happy new year everyone! Yes, I’m a bit late and also a little lazy. Truth to be told SM is not really my thing but I will make an effort to share some stories this year. No paid posts to “keep the business visible”, no automated posts as well, and certainly no AI writing. It’s just me and some special stories. Humberto greets everyone, he is happy and super healthy, still with the bladder infection but better than ever. Today a client just asked me how old was “puppy” 😂
