Pain Relief & Management

Pain Relief & Management

We know that your pets are precious to you, and we want to ensure that they are living their happiest and most comfortable lives by your side. Pain relief can have profound effects on our pets’ attitude and activity at home and beyond.

There are several health conditions that may lead to chronic pain in animals. Osteoarthritis and joint-related issues are common in older pets, while younger animals may suffer long-term effects from an accident or genetic disorder. The first step in developing a pain management plan for your pet involves identifying the cause or causes through physical assessments and diagnostic testing. Once we have identified the condition, we can begin an effective treatment plan that is tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

We often suggest using a combination of both medication-based and physical therapy-based treatments when addressing chronic pain. This allows us to holistically approach the problem and maximize the effectiveness of pain management.

FAQ

Pet owners should consult with their veterinarian to determine the best age to spay or neuter their cat or dog. Some research indicates there may be long-term health benefits to spaying or neutering dogs after they have passed through puberty. 

Many veterinary professionals recommend that female animals be spayed before their first heat, which can occur as early as 5 months of age. However, there is increasing evidence that this is too young as the animals have not been allowed to fully develop and grow.

Wellness exams are critical to helping your pet maintain good long-term physical health. 

Combined with regular vaccinations, parasite prevention and proper nutrition, these routine examinations include regular physical check-ups to give your pet the best chance at excellent lifelong health. 

When you bring your pet in for their regular check-up, we can prevent health issues from developing in your pet, or catch them early on, when they are most treatable.

Our pets can develop periodontal disease or tooth decay as a consequence of poor oral health. 

Just like in humans, when animals eat, plaque sticks to their teeth and can build up into tartar if not brushed away regularly. 

This can lead to infections in the mouth, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and even loose or missing teeth. That’s why regular dental care is essential to preventing pain or disease in the gums.
