Pain Management for Pets

Whether your beloved pet is showing signs of arthritis as they age, or recovering from an injury or illness, you don’t have to go through it alone. At our hospital, we partner with you to provide veterinary pain management for pets, because every pet deserves to feel their best.

Pets don’t always show pain the way we expect. Many dogs and cats instinctively hide their discomfort until it becomes severe. That’s why it’s important to know the subtle signs that something might be wrong.

Know The Signs

Common Symptoms of Pain in Pets

If you’ve noticed any of the following signs, it’s time to schedule a pain evaluation with our veterinary team:

  • Limping or favoring a limb 
  • Stiffness or difficulty moving 
  • Avoiding play, running, or jumping 
  • Sudden changes in behavior—grouchiness, depression, or withdrawal 
  • Crying, whining, or whimpering 
  • Loss of appetite 
  • Pawing at the eyes, ears, or mouth 
  • Excessive licking, scratching, or biting at a specific area 
  • Vocalizing or flinching when touched or picked up 
  • Bathroom accidents in the house 
  • Hiding more than usual (especially in cats) 

We’ll perform a complete physical exam and work closely with you to develop a personalized pain management plan.
