Pet Pain Management
At Gippsland Pet Emergency, we understand that managing pain is a critical part of treating pets during emergencies. Our top priority is to not only provide life-saving care but to also ensure that your pet is comfortable throughout their treatment. That’s why we offer advanced pain management services, tailored to meet the specific needs of your pet in any critical situation.
Advanced Pain Relief Options for Every Situation
Emergencies such as trauma, fractures, surgeries, or severe illnesses can cause significant discomfort and distress for your pet. Our veterinary team is equipped with the latest in pain management options to alleviate your pet’s suffering:
- Medication: We use a variety of safe and effective pain-relieving medications, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and local anaesthetics. These medications are carefully chosen based on your pet’s condition, weight, and individual needs to provide optimal relief.
- Local and Regional Anaesthesia: In cases requiring surgery or localised treatments, our team employs local and regional anaesthesia techniques to numb specific areas of your pet’s body. This ensures they remain comfortable during and after the procedure.
- Multimodal Pain Management: For more complex or severe cases, we combine multiple pain relief strategies, including medications, injections, and even physical therapy options to manage pain from different angles, providing comprehensive and long-lasting relief.
