Pain Management Services

Our priority is to enhance the well-being of our patients. It is our goal to recognize, prevent and minimize both physical and emotional pain and to ensure that your pet is comfortable after surgical procedures. We will dispense medication for comfort when your pet is discharged from the hospital as well. We have a separate area for our feline friends offering them a stress- free environment that is quiet and comfortable.

How can I tell when my pet is in pain? Response to pain varies among individual patients. Your dog or cat may still wag their tail or purr during human interaction. Be aware of the following behaviors/symptoms:

Slight limping
Trembling
Shaking
Licking or chewing at a painful area
Sitting or lying in an abnormal position; not curled up looking relaxed or comfortable
May or may not appear interested in food
Looks depressed
Frequent whining
