Pain Management

If you start to notice signs of pain in your pet, please let us know.

Signs Of Acute Pain Can Include:

• Whining or crying
• Uncharacteristic aggression
• Hiding or needing extra attention
• Excessive tiredness or sluggishness
• Changes in behavior, including eating or sleeping
• Licking or chewing an area of the body

Chronic pain has many of the same symptoms and signs as acute pain but can be the result of a long-lasting condition. Treating chronic pain is different than treating acute pain, so it is important to understand the source of the pain.

Treatment For Chronic And Acute Pain Can Include:

• Medications: this is the easiest option and can treat a wide variety of pain related issues like arthritis or cancer. Medication is most prescribed to treat chronic pain.
• Supplements: if you are looking for a holistic or natural way to treat your pet’s pain, supplements might be a great option.

Our veterinarians will go over all your options for acute and chronic pain management at the time of your appointment.
