Pain control for pets

[Catherine]

I can remember when it was thought that pets did not need pain meds even after surgery. Fortunately times have changed. Vets recognize that pets can benefit from pain control as much as their owners.
First we need to recognize that our pet is in pain. Never give human meds to a pet(unless advised by a vet). If you think your pet is in pain, seek vet advice. Even an old dog or cat shouldn't suffer because of aches and pains. There are medications to help ease arthritis and give relief to our furry friends.

We have come a long way medically with better pet care products. The attitude towards out pets is much better. No pet should ever need to suffer again without some relief.
