Pain Management
Companion Animal Medical Center provides individualized pain management plans to improve comfort and quality of life for pets.
Recognizing and Relieving Pain in Pets
Pain can be difficult to recognize in pets, as they often hide signs of discomfort. While it may be more obvious with injury or after surgery, many pets experience ongoing discomfort from less visible conditions. Subtle changes in behavior are often the first signs something isn’t right. At Companion Animal Medical Center, our team is experienced in identifying these changes and determining the cause so appropriate care can begin.
Common Signs Your Pet May Be in Pain
Whimpering or vocalizing
Uncharacteristic aggression when approached
Holding the ears flat against the head
Increased licking of a painful or sensitive area
Decreased appetite
Reluctance to walk, run, climb stairs, jump, or play
Stiffness or limping
Unexpected reactions when touched
Changes in personality
If you notice any of these signs, our team can evaluate your pet and recommend appropriate care.
