After a surgery, or for other cases of pain management, we will use the appropriate pain scale to determine your pet's level of pain. This is like a physical exam, but it focuses on feeling the whole body for tight muscles, sores, range of motion, and heat, all while noting the discomfort level in your pet.
When we localize the painful area(s), we generate a plan to treat the pain. This may include drugs, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and/or massage. We will always work to educate you about ways you can help manage your pet's pain once you return home.
