No one likes living with a painful condition. When it comes to our pets, it can be difficult to determine if they are experiencing pain. Their natural instincts lead them to hide their pain from pet parents. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to that feeling that tells you your pet may not be well.
Your pet may indicate pain by moving more slowly or running less. He or she may not show excitement about playing or going for a previously-loved walk. Sometimes, pain will cause a pet to cower or growl when touched, or to seem generally unhappy. If your pet exhibits any of these behaviors, we invite you to learn more about the pain management services offered by your veterinarian in Pasadena.
