Dear colleague,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Chloë Lingier, and I am a rotating intern Small Animals at Ghent University. As part of my internship, I am conducting a research study on pain assessment and analgesic management in small animal emergency cases among veterinarians practicing in Belgium. I would like to kindly invite you to participate in this study by completing an anonymous online survey.

The questionnaire includes a small number of background questions, followed by short clinical emergency scenarios, and takes approximately 20–30 minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers, we are interested in your honest clinical reasoning and current practice.

Eligibility:
Small animal veterinarians currently practicing in Belgium (regardless of nationality or practice type)

Your participation would be greatly appreciated and will contribute to a better understanding of current approaches to emergency analgesia, as well as potential areas for future training and support. You can access the survey via the link below:

Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues who may also be eligible.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Kind regards, Chloë Lingier Rotating Intern Ghent University chloe.lingier@ugent.be
