Is Your Pet Experiencing Pain?

As our pets age, they may begin to start feeling pain just as humans do. Large dogs are especially susceptible to this and it is important that you are aware of the signs that many dogs exhibit when they are feeling pain:

  • Obsessive grooming, especially in one particular area
  • Squinting  
  • Difficulty sitting or rising from a seated position
  • Maintaining an odd, hunched position
  • Rapid breathing
  • Personality changes typically change in demeanor such as a normally friendly dog becoming withdrawn. In some cases, dogs that are feeling pain can also become aggressive and irritable 

If you notice any of the symptoms listed above in your pet, it is time to schedule a visit to Trinity Pet Hospital, your friendly Laguna Hills veterinarian.

Treatment for Pain 

If your pet is experiencing pain, our Laguna Hills veterinarian will work with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan that will provide pain management throughout the entire year. It is important that these plans are followed on a consistent basis, especially around the holidays when life can become more hectic and their needs may be overlooked.

There are no-steroid medications that will help to reduce the inflammation that often is the culprit of pain in pets. This course of treatment will be given in the lowest possible dose that is effective.

In addition to anti-inflammatories and pain medication, we may also recommend a different diet for your pet and we will likely provide advice for an overall wellness plan. It is key to your pet's health and wellness that they receive an adequate amount of exercise on a consistent basis. If you are concerned about your pet's pain level it is always best practice to contact your veterinarian for advice.
