Painful Health Conditions in Pets

Dogs, cats, and other pets can experience painful chronic and acute health conditions at any stage of life.

Common conditions include:

  • Arthritis
  • Pancreatitis
  • Periodontal disease
  • Bladder inflammation
  • Ear infection

Acute injuries, such as sprains and bone fractures, can also cause a lot of pain and mobility issues.

Signs of Pain in Pets

Pets can act quite stoic despite experiencing high levels of pain. There are some signs you can watch for to spot rising pain levels and reach out for care promptly.

The top signs to look for are:

  • Reduced appetite or trouble eating
  • Limping
  • Whining and whimpering
  • Lethargy or withdrawal from attention
  • Licking the affected area

Another sign of pain is sudden aggressive behavior and guarding of the painful area. It is often best to explore any behavioral changes with help from our vets to help your pet stay in good health.

How Our Veterinarians Approach Pain Management

Our veterinarians approach pain management by accurately diagnosing the cause and using proven treatment practices. At the first sign of pain, your pet will receive a thorough examination and undergo diagnostic tests as needed to find the cause. Then, our vets will work with you to determine the best course of treatment.

To keep your pet comfortable in the meantime, our vets may use anti-inflammatory medication or other prescriptions to decrease his pain levels. We may also help you learn how to complete care routines at home, such as applying ice or heat, to further relieve your pet’s discomfort.
