Comfort & Pain Management
Our one-hour in-home visits are designed specifically as palliative care for animals in their Transitioning Phase (terminal care, painful and chronic conditions). Our goal is to find the perfect mix of tools to ease your pet’s pain during their hospice phase of life. The main aim is to make sure your pet can move around more easily and enjoy their daily moments with you and your family. We might use laser therapy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, or traditional medicine to achieve this.
Acupuncture and laser therapy are both great for boosting mobility, reducing inflammation, speeding up healing, and overall decreasing pain. Depending on how deep and specific the laser treatment needs to be, the laser session itself might only take a few minutes to up to 10-15 minutes. It’s a non-invasive option, and even animals who aren’t great with handling or needles can benefit from it. In fact, many of them relax as the laser is used because it’s so soothing.
If your pet is comfortable with very small, thin needles, acupuncture can also be a helpful addition to help them relax, feel less anxious, and eat better. Some Chinese Medicine herbal medicine might be included, but it’s not necessary for everyone. An average acupuncture session usually lasts 5 to 20 minutes.
Each of our appointments is customized just for your pet, and it might include all or just one of these treatments. The veterinarian will pick the best approach that will help your pet or what they can handle best.
