Supplements are an attractive option for managing arthritis pain in dogs and cats as they are believed to have low potential side effects. There is growing evidence that marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids can help improve the quality of life for animals with joint disease. Where supplements are inadequate, pain management services are well-placed to help you develop the most appropriate treatment plan.

Nala was such a good girl for her stem cell injection to her elbow today. She recovered quickly from the sedation and was heading home with her mum just an hour after the procedure. With a week of taking things steady to allow any inflammation to subside, we hope that she will soon be walking without a limp and loving life. Well done Nala ❤️

It's been an incredible year for Pet Pain Relief, and we're excited to share one of our most inspiring success stories - Harry!

🌟 Harry's Journey to Pain-Free Living

Meet Harry, a 4-year-old German Shepherd who suffered from persistent pain following toe amputation due to brittle nail disease.

✨ The Challenge: Despite medication, Harry's pain was limiting his exercise and affecting his happiness, and his owner's too.

💫 Our Approach: Dr. James Hunt, our expert in pain management, suspected nerve hyperexcitability around the surgery site. An infusion of pain-relieving medication led to rapid improvements that lasted for several days.

🎯 The Result: Harry's positive response allowed us to confidently prescribe a topical cream for his painful area. Since starting this treatment, Harry has continued to thrive and enjoy his walks again!

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Hunt's Insight: "Tailored pain management strategies are essential to treating pain effectively. Harry's story highlights the importance of understanding the underlying causes."

🌟 Understanding Sleep Patterns in Pets with Chronic Pain 🌟

Chronic pain in pets isn't just a physical burden; it can disrupt their sleep, affecting their overall well-being. Recognising these changes is crucial for providing the best care for your furry friend. 🐾

🔍 The Impact of Chronic Pain on Sleep

Chronic pain, from conditions such as osteoarthritis, can lead to sleep disturbances in pets. Research by Margaret Gruen at NCSU highlights the importance of addressing these issues to improve quality of life. (Gruen et al., 2019, DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-50623-0)

🛌 Signs to Watch For:

Altered sleeping positions
Frequent position changes
Reluctance to lie down or get up
Increased nighttime activity

💡 Management Tips:

A choice of beds or sleeping materials allows your pet to decide where they are most comfortable

Consult with your veterinary surgeon if you notice changes in sleep routines

At Pet Pain Relief, we're committed to comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of your pet's health, including their sleep. By understanding and managing sleep disruptions, you can significantly enhance your pet's quality of life. ❤️

Wow! looking back to the early part of 2024 and starting to wonder whether we'd ever be able to turn this former pet shop into a clinic, but with a lot of love and hard work from Alex and James we couldn't be happier with our finished clinic
