Providing Cat & Dog Pain Relief in Ann Arbor, MI
Dogs and cats can experience different kinds of pain, from chronic discomfort that builds over time to acute, debilitating pain. The problem for many pet owners is knowing the signs of pain in their pets, which can often be subtle or even non-existent. Pets hide their pain as best they can out of instinct, and this can cause the pain to persist and even worsen. At Animal Urgent Center, we offer a wide range of cat and dog pain relief options for treating acute and chronic pain, including integrative therapies. Our goal is to develop a pain management plan that suits your pet’s unique needs.
Pain Management
Options We Offer
Our veterinarians have a variety of pain control options on hand for treating your pet. This includes oral medications and injectables, along with integrative therapies like acupuncture, physical rehabilitation, and Chinese herbal medicine.
Every pet is different and will respond differently to treatment. Based on your pet’s situation and medical history, we can recommend the safest and most effective options for them. In addition to keeping your pet pain-free while we treat them at our hospital, we can also prescribe pain relief solutions for you to give/implement at home.
