Left untreated, chronic pain from arthritis and other common age-related conditions can negatively affect your senior pet’s quality of life. But prompt diagnosis and treatment can restore comfortable mobility, allowing your senior pet to age with grace—not pain.
Subtle—and not so subtle—pain signs may include:
Panting
Hunching
Hiding
Increased sleeping or restlessness
Irritability or aggression
Decreased interest in physical activities or play
Avoiding physical contact
Increased or decreased grooming
Schedule an appointment if your senior pet is demonstrating any of these common pain signs.
