"Symptoms like slowing down, sleeping more, and refusing to eat are often misconstrued as normal signs of aging," says Larissa Schenck, Director of Marketing at PetMeds®. "Many times, pets act like their younger selves after starting chronic pain treatment."
Chronic and acute pain may be mild or severe. Depending on where it occurs in the body, it may be somatic, visceral, or neuropathic. Somatic pain affects the limbs and skin, for example, a cut or sprain. Visceral pain affects internal organs. Neuropathic pain from nerve or spinal cord injuries tends to cause tingling, burning, or shooting pain.
Pet parents who suspect their pet may be in pain should talk to their veterinarian about treatment options, which range from medication, supplements, physical therapy and surgeries to acupuncture, electromagnetic therapy, hydrotherapy and massage.
