Common Questions About
Pet Pain Management & Rehab
Pet owners throughout Madison Heights trust Oak Animal Hospital for gentle, professional care when their dogs or cats are recovering from surgery or living with chronic pain. These FAQs explain how pain management and rehabilitation can improve your pet’s well-being.
How can I tell if my pet is in pain?
Signs of pain may include limping, restlessness, reluctance to climb stairs, or behavioral changes. At Oak Animal Hospital in Madison Heights, our veterinarians evaluate subtle signs of discomfort to ensure your pet gets relief quickly.
What is laser therapy, and how does it help pets?
Laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate cell repair, reduce inflammation, and speed healing. It’s painless, non-invasive, and ideal for managing arthritis, surgical recovery, and chronic injuries in both dogs and cats.
Do older pets benefit from rehabilitation?
Absolutely. Rehabilitation and mobility exercises help senior pets stay active, reduce stiffness, and maintain muscle strength — enhancing comfort and independence well into their later years.
Are pain medications safe for long-term use?
When properly prescribed and monitored, pain medications are safe and effective. Our veterinarians adjust dosages as needed and use regular check-ups and lab work to ensure your pet’s continued health.
How often should my pet come for therapy sessions?
Frequency varies depending on your pet’s condition. Some patients visit weekly during recovery, while others benefit from ongoing maintenance sessions. Our team will outline a plan based on your pet’s specific goals and response to treatment.
