Animal Pain Awareness Month

Animals suffer from pain just like people do. Pain comes in many forms: surgical pain, arthritis, and cancer-related pain, just to name a few.  Acute pain is obvious and distressing. Chronic pain can be subtle and masked as “getting old” or “slowing down.” Old age is not a disease, but pain is. There are various options to treat the causes of pain in animals, including pain medications, physical rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, and therapeutic massage. Learn to recognize the signs of pain in your pet and consult your veterinarian about ways to treat pain.
