We use pain control for before or after surgeries, if we are treating a wound, if there is an infection, or if your pet has arthritis.
The following are common symptoms of pain in pets that should be brought to a veterinarian’s attention.
If your pet:
- Stops eating or becomes picky with food
- Seems depressed, lethargic, or restless
- Seeks isolation, hiding under the bed, in corners or dark places
- Whines, vocalizes, or groans when it tries to move
- Excessive panting
- Exhibits aggression (biting snapping or growling) when touched or approached
- Bites or licks at the painful region of body
- Limps or walks stiffly
- Grinds teeth or is drooling
