Laser Therapy for Dogs and Cats in Holmdel
Our pets experience pain just as intensely as we do, and often for many of the same reasons. How they communicate their pain is more complicated. As owners, you’re likely to notice a shift in personality. They may become unusually aggressive, or exhibit an increased need to be comforted. Pets in severe pain can become still and appear lethargic, refusing food and any form of exercise, or whimper and cry when touched. Pain from skin problems can prompt excessive licking and chewing at the site of the problem. Unlike dogs, cats tend to hide their pain, and withdraw. We urge owners to be sensitive to shifts in personality and/or behavior. If you suspect your pet is experiencing pain, bring your pet into our Holmdel practice for an evaluation. Give us a call at (732) 671-3110.
Treatment options vary based on the type of pain your animal is experiencing. Acute pain occurs as an immediate response to a specific event…trauma from an accident, surgery, diseased organ. By contrast, Chronic pain has a more gradual onset over time and generally results from conditions like arthritis, disc disease or dental disease.
