At Central Texas Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital (CTVSEH), we recognize that pain can significantly affect your pet’s quality of life. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or suffering from an injury, our expert team is dedicated to providing effective and compassionate pain management tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
Why is Pain Management Important?
Pets often hide signs of pain, making it difficult to know when they are suffering. Proper pain management helps:
- Improve mobility and activity levels
- Enhance healing and recovery
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Increase overall comfort and well-being
Our Approach to Pain Management
We use a multimodal approach that combines various techniques and medications to effectively control pain, including:
- Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, gabapentin, and other pain-relieving drugs.
- Physical therapy: Therapeutic exercises, laser therapy, and massage to support healing and reduce discomfort.
- Interventional procedures: Nerve blocks or epidurals for targeted pain relief when appropriate.
- Complementary therapies: Acupuncture and other integrative treatments tailored to your pet’s condition.
