Pain Management

Pets can experience the same sensations of pain as we humans do. Some types of pain are chronic, such as the pain caused by certain degenerative medical conditions, like arthritis or hip dysplasia. Additionally, pets can experience bouts of acute or sudden pain following an injury or surgery. Regardless of the type of pain, experiencing such discomfort can greatly affect their quality of life. Animal Hospital of Ludington offers a wide range of pain management services to help your pet feel better.

Some of the common signs that your pet may be in pain include:

  • Behavioral Changes
  • Aggression
  • Hiding
  • Trembling
  • Lameness or Limping
  • Restlessness
  • Excessive Panting
  • Dilation of the Eyes
  • Increased Heart Rate
  • Loss of Appetite
  • Self-Mutilation

If you believe your companion is experiencing pain or discomfort, contact us right away. We can conduct a thorough exam and run diagnostic testing to determine what’s causing the problem, and develop an appropriate plan to address it. Pain management may include physical therapy, medication, laser therapy or any combination of these. Let us get to the bottom of your pet’s pain issues and help them live a more comfortable, happy life.

Solensia

Cats have many skills, one of which is hiding pain. That said, cats who suffer from osteoarthritis (OA) often exhibit noticeable changes in their everyday behavior. Suddenly normal daily activities, such as jumping, climbing, or playing are no longer easy due to pain. If you believe your feline friend may be suffering from OA, the first step is visiting the vet for a diagnosis. The next step is treating the condition with Solensia.

Solensia is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for feline osteoarthritis pain. It’s administered monthly via a quick injection right in the vet’s exam room. Solensia works like your cat’s natural antibodies to combat pain signals and the results can be significant. Give your kitty the relief he or she deserves and help get that purrfect guy or gal moving more freely and comfortably once again!

      ‘Five Stars’ for Dr Paxton as he is a caring, knowledgeable, experienced professional! I had an in-depth conversation around the benefits of Cytopoint injections for my Westie with seasonal dermatitis. Success! Cytopoint was the solution to measurable relief.
      Also I want to share my thoughts on Euthanasia for an aggressive, violent dog. If your veterinarian recommends euthanasia, you should give it serious consideration. Some dogs are not wired correctly. The safety of children, family, & community should be the priority over an aggressive dog. Don’t wait for a disaster to transpire. My family has suffered do to non action of our neighbors aggressive dog.
