Providing Comfort for Your Cat in Denver
No one wants to see their feline friend suffering. At Founders Green Animal Hospital, we provide tailored solutions for acute and chronic cat pain management in Denver to help improve your pet’s health and happiness.
How to Spot Acute Pain in Your Cat
Since felines are naturally good at hiding pain, it is crucial for owners to notice behavioral changes and look for signs to determine appropriate pain management for cats.
Symptoms of acute pain in feline animals may include the following:
- Behavior change or social withdrawal
- Calls like yowling or growling (unique to your cat’s answer)
- Limping or difficulty in movement
- Intense grooming or licking at a painful site
- Hiding or lethargy
If you notice any of these symptoms in your cat, it is always advisable to contact us promptly. Upon examining your cat and conducting tests, we shall identify the cause of the pain and treat it accordingly, which in most cases will involve using pain relievers and resting the cat.
Helping Cats With Chronic Pain Conditions
Chronic pain in cats is often caused by conditions such as arthritis, kidney issues, or dental issues. Though chronic conditions can cause constant pain in your cat, we are here to help you manage them.
Indicators of chronic pain include:
- Reduced mobility or stiffness
- Changes in their appetite or grooming patterns
- Behavioral changes such as aggressiveness and irritability
- Avoidance/loss of confidence to play
If your cat has chronic pain, we provide tailored cat pain management in Denver, including medication and nutritional supplements. If you prefer, we can also offer alternative treatments and prepare a comprehensive personalized plan for pain management for cats.
