Pain Management

Providing Pain Relief For Dogs & Cats in East Dundee

Keeping pets comfortable whether they are recovering from surgeries or living with a chronic condition at home is one of our highest priorities. Pain can have a debilitating effect on our four-legged best friends, from limiting their appetite to making them lose interest in the activities they used to love. It can also make vet visits more stressful!

Our AAHA-accredited animal hospitals in Dundee, Elgin, and Algonquin are conscious of the impact pain can have on pets and do everything possible to provide pain relief for dogs & cats.

Signs of Pain in Pets

Pets don’t always cry or whimper when they are feeling pain. Other signs might include:

In some cases, dogs may become aggressive or defensive. Regardless, if your pet is showing any of these signs, please contact us immediately so we can help.

We Offer Safe Pain Relief Options

At Dundee Animal Hospital, we look for the safest and most effective pain relief for dogs and cats. We also take time to evaluate your pet and figure out which medication is best for them based on their age, size, condition, and medical history. Furthermore, we want to make sure that if your pet is already taking medication, that one medication will not interfere with the other.

Along with using injectable pain relief medication (usually for surgeries), Dundee Animal Hospital also provides various oral medications, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). These are a safer alternative and help to reduce any swelling/inflammation that is adding to your pet’s discomfort.

Why Pets Need Pain Relief

Pain after surgery can slow a pet’s recovery, and chronic pain due to arthritis or an untreated injury can reduce their quality of life. Dogs and cats process pain similar to humans, and while they might attempt to hide it, pain can be more damaging to their health than we realize. They deserve the best care from people who are invested in their health—and at Dundee Animal Hospital, providing pain relief for dogs and cats is one of our top priorities.

I have never had any doubts taking my dog to Dundee Animal Hosital of Elgin. The vet techs and front desk staff treat me and Alfie like family and Dr. Larson and Dr. Lathrop have given Alfie care in some very difficult situations that was second to none. Whenever people ask me if I know any good vets in the area, I always recommend Dundee Animal Hospital of Elgin!

We have had 5 furry friends who were/are patients of Dundee Animal Hospital, going all the way back to Dr. McConell. Dr. Kersting and the staff have consistently met and/or exceeded expectations in appt. timeliness, welcoming attitude, providing thorough explanations and examinations whether an annual or interim visits. We've always been confident in their assessments and recommendations.
Our Bulldog actually gets excited about seeing Dr. Obrien. All the staff make you feel like your pet is their pet.
