Abstract
MNTs in dogs without exercise restriction or CAMT were consistently repeatable and unchanged over time, indicating that there was no learned apprehension response to pressure algometry using the modified technique. Therefore, the increasing MNT values with time in dogs administered exercise restriction with or without CAMT suggests improved muscular comfort of the thoracolumbar region. Although further research is needed, use of this modified technique should improve the utility of pressure algometry for measuring muscular pain in dogs.
