It\u2019s now common knowledge that pets feel pain in much the same way as humans and that chronic pain can impair the healing process by interfering with immune function, decreasing appetite, and increasing anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mproving the quality and longevity of our patients\u2019 lives is one of our top priorities. Let\u2019s take a moment to focus on a pet\u2019s pain and the various ways we can help manage it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognizing Pet Pain<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing signs of pain in pets is crucial for their care and comfort. Our pets can&#8217;t verbally communicate their discomfort, so it&#8217;s up to us as owners to observe and interpret changes in their behavior. Common signs that your pet might be in pain include:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sudden limping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pacing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crying out or growling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excessive licking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of appetite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of grooming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lethargy or decreased activity <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Management Strategies<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center, we offer different pain management strategies for pets depending on what is causing the pet to be in pain. This will be determined by our veterinarian after examining the pet and evaluating any diagnostic test results, if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet p<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ain management medications can play an important role in reducing pain. And with the guidance of your veterinarian, be stopped if no longer needed.  Not all pain medications work in the same way. Your veterinarian will prescribe the one best suited for your pet\u2019s needs. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that you should never give your pet human pain medication, as these medications are highly toxic to pets and can cause fatal reactions.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Physical Therapy Exercises<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Physical therapy exercises <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can help a pet feel better, especially, after a surgery where regaining strength, range of motion, and mobility is the goal.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Weight Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Being overweight often compounds a pet&#8217;s pain. Additional pounds place excessive pressure on joints and the supporting ligaments and tendons. This can lead to arthritis and other problems that cause pain. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/blog\/obesity-in-pets\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining a healthy weight<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through proper diet and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/blog\/?s=exercise\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">regular exercise<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help prevent this type of pain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Diet and Nutrition <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensuring your pet is on the right diet for its age, health status, and nutritional needs can help manage or prevent painful conditions. specially formulate prescription diets to address various health issues, including joint and mobility problems, weight management, allergies, dental health, and urinary or kidney function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cold Laser Therapy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold laser therapy is effective method for reducing pain and promoting healing. This noninvasive, pain-free technique uses a hand-held device that emits a focused beam of high-energy light (photons) to a targeted area. The photons stimulate cell regeneration, increase blood circulation, and reduce inflammation, all of which contribute to pain relief and faster healing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/medicine\/pain-management.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cold laser therapy<\/a> can improve the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wounds, hot spots, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/blog\/pet-skin-problems\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">other skin infections<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soft tissue injuries<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-surgical healing<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis, hip dysplasia, degenerative joint disease<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sprains and strains<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle, tendon, or ligament injuries<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic ear infections<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/blog\/?s=dental+care\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">conditions <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Thoughts on Pet Pain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We often recommend a multi-modal approach (using more than one strategy at a time) to provide your pet with maximum relief.
