Pain Management

Your pet's pain management plan is specific to their condition, age, and general health. Benefits must outweigh the risks.

NSAID medication most effectively reduces pain, improves mobility and quality of life in humans and pets alike.

Adverse side effects of NSAID use in veterinary patients include vomiting, loss of appetite, depression, and diarrhea. These will resolve with discontinuation of the drug and appropriate treatment. More serious side effects are rare but may include stomach/intestinal ulcers with possible perforation, kidney and liver failure, and death.

Cats cannot beak down NSAIDs because they do not have the enzymes needed and have a higher risk of developing side effects, especially when given over extended periods. An average-sized cat will not tolerate a single acetaminophen tablet. Veterinary NSAIDs have not been approved for long-term use in cats in the USA.

Each pet is unique. Our goal is always to reduce pain and increase wellness. Some animals do not tolerate NSAIDs. Our veterinarian can provide you with advice about other available options.

If you see negative side effects, STOP giving the drug and call your veterinarian immediately. Drug safety is monitored by adverse reaction reports to prevent further problems for our pets.

Patient Monitoring

A veterinarian technician is assigned to your pet for the duration of the procedure and into recovery. They will continuously monitor vital parameters, such as heart rate, respiration, blood oxygen levels, and blood pressure and temperature.

Your family will be supported throughout the postoperative period to ensure your pet can return to a happy, active lifestyle.

Soft Tissue Surgery

We provide surgical treatment for soft tissue conditions, damage, and injury.

Soft tissue refers to any material in your pet's body that is not made up of bone or cartilage. This includes muscle and skin.

If you notice a change in how your pet is moving or acting, or if you encounter a lump or another abnormality somewhere on their body, please call our team directly.

We will carefully assess your pet with a comprehensive physical exam before deciding whether or not surgery is required.

There are a number of circumstances in which surgery is the treatment of choice:

The removal of lumps and masses
The removal of certain types of cancerous tumors
Therapeutic cleaning of the ear canal to treat an infection
Treatment of deep or infected wounds.

Our team carries out surgical treatments, with expert care, and compassion, providing individualized care and pain management to address your pet's specific needs. With comprehensive facilities, equipment and techniques, we give your pet the best chance of recovery, supported by aftercare instructions and follow-up checks and examinations.
