Pain Management
We are here to provide pain management for pets
No animal lover wants to see their precious pet in pain.
Sadly, pets can suffer from many painful conditions. Whether their discomfort is caused by an illness, injury, or degenerative disorder, we provide safe and effective pain management for pets in Des Moines and the surrounding areas. Easing your pet’s pain is our primary concern, and we will do everything we can to make them more comfortable.
Keeping Pets Comfortable
Your pet cannot tell you when they are in pain.
They might exhibit changes in behavior that indicate pain or discomfort, though. Even if your pet is aging, it is essential to keep an eye on their behavior and seek veterinary care if you notice any changes. Acute or chronic pain can negatively impact your pet’s quality of life, so it is important to schedule an appointment if your dog or cat shows any of these symptoms of pain:
- Increased vocalization
- Refusal to eat
- Uncharacteristic aggression
- Licking a certain area excessively
- Inability to settle or get comfortable
- Limping or changes in gait
- Changes in sleep habits
- Unusual behavior
During your pet’s appointment, we will perform a hands-on physical exam and may recommend additional testing to identify the source of their pain. Based on our findings, we may recommend medication(s) or other treatments. We will take the time to explain what’s going on with your precious pet and how you can help them.
