The practice of high-quality veterinary medicine focuses on the entire patient – from medical issues that affect physical functioning, to emotional and psychological issues that affect well-being. Experiencing pain can affect the body’s physical functioning and can have a detrimental effect on a patient’s well-being and state of mind. That’s why pain management is among our primary considerations when we are treating a pet for any medical condition.
From routine surgical or dental procedures (such as a spay surgery or dental cleanings), to more advanced medical treatments (such as bone surgeries or cancer treatments), to chronically painful conditions (such as arthritis or back pain), we are dedicated to providing safe and effective pain management to every patient. We will also help you recognize signs of pain in your pet so that we can modify his or her pain management plan when necessary.
Recognizing and alleviating pain in our patients is at the very heart of quality, compassionate patient care. At Oak View Animal Hospital we do not take pain management for granted. We will employ all of our skills to keep your pet comfortable to increase your pet’s well-being and quality of life. and even chronic internal issues. Our staff uses low-dosage pain medications, laser therapy as well as recommends proper food choices to help your pet stay healthy and active as long as possible.
