Long-Term Cat Pain Relief
Cats are often mobile and can feel pain from their
flexible movements. You may not be able to see signs your cat is feeling
unwell. These feline
conditions must be treated immediately by your veterinarian. There are two options for long-term cat pain relief. There are two types of long-term cat pain relief options.
One is chemical-based and the other is traditional herbal cat pain relief
medication. Combining the traditional
herbal pain reliever and the chemical-based pain relief is popular because cat
owners believe these medications have an immediate effect.
However, there are warnings to be aware of when cats
owners decide to use over-the-counter pain relief medications that are commonly
used by humans. These
over-the counter medications may not be safe for your cat's health. These over-the-counter pain relief products can cause
toxicities and overdoses. Cat owners
should bring their pets to a veterinarian to get a proper diagnosis and
prescription.
There are medications that can be used to relieve pain in
cats. They have the same effect as those that are prescribed for humans. Non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory medications are a common medication that veterinarians use.
These are usually used after surgery, or to treat persistent arthritis pain. This type of pain reliever may not be effective. A stronger
medication for pain relief, such as steroid medication, can be administered. This steroid medication, Cortisone, can be used only for
short-term use. Stronger drugs must be used on a shorter-term basis.
However, herbal remedies and traditional pain relief
methods may be available. Herbal supplements are thought to provide natural relief and
are therefore non-toxic when compared to other pain relievers. The scientific community is concerned about herbal
supplements because there have not been any laboratory results that can prove
their safety and effectiveness for cats.
Before giving herbal supplements to cats, cat owners should consult their veterinarian. To relieve cat pain, you can also use pain relief medications prescribed by veterinarians, herbal supplements, and acupuncture. Some veterinarians might not be open to this type of treatment. Some vets may not be familiar with acupuncture as a pain relief option. Cat owners should seek out another veterinarian who is familiar with alternative treatments to acupuncture. When looking for a veterinarian to perform these alternative treatments for your cat, you must have a holistic and in-depth knowledge of acupuncture and chiropractic.
