Let's talk pain! 👉

Chronic pain in cats can be managed, but never give your cat over-the-counter pain medication! Veterinary-prescribed NSAIDs can safely improve your feline friend’s quality of life!

Signs of Pain in Cats 😿

Signs of chronic pain in cats may not be obvious, because cats can hide pain and adjust their behavior to try to avoid discomfort.

Watch for: 👀

✨Moving slowly or stiffly, especially going up and down stairs

✨Limping, holding up, or not using a limb

✨Reluctance or hesitation to jump up to, or down from, furniture, windowsills, etc.

✨Reduced play and/or interaction with family or other pets

✨Social changes, interacting less with family and pets, or interacting more

✨Change in sleep, e.g., sleeping more or less than usual, or in unusual places, such as under beds

✨Change in sleeping positions, being hunched up and stiff, rather than relaxed and curled up, or even sleeping/resting sitting up

✨Not wanting to be stroked or brushed when previously your cat liked it

✨Changes in appetite, e.g., becoming picky with food/treats

✨Chewing abnormally, e.g., on one side of the mouth, swallowing food whole rather than chewing, or dropping food from their mouth

✨Teeth grinding, an unpleasant scraping sound while a cat moves their mouth, sometimes when offered or trying to eat food

✨Changes in litter box habits, such as going outside of the litter box, and/or defecating less frequently or with difficulty
Grooming less, leading to a dull, rough coat or knotted/matted coat

✨Twitching skin and biting or overgrooming areas of skin

✨Pawing at the face or mouth, or eye twitching

American Animal Hospital Association:

Unlike the human health world, accreditation of animal hospitals is voluntary. Nearly 5,000 practices have joined AAHA as an accredited practice because they are striving to meet a higher standard of care. An AAHA accreditation is a strong indication that a veterinary practice delivers quality medicine – which positively impacts not only your clients, patients, and team, but raises the bar for the veterinary profession.

03/11/2025

We are now an AHAA Certified practice! AHAA is the American Animal Hospital Association. What does that mean for your furry baby?

AAHA-accredited practices voluntarily hold themselves to a higher standard. Pets are their passion, and keeping them healthy is their number-one priority.

AAHA accreditation standards:

To achieve AAHA accreditation, a veterinary hospital must meet or exceed hundreds of standards covering all aspects of veterinary care and business. These standards are continually updated to keep pace with advancements in veterinary medicine, ensuring that accredited hospitals remain at the forefront of the profession.

Veterinary hospitals must meet standards in the following categories:
Anesthesia — Anesthesia standards are in place to ensure anesthesia is safe and effective for every pet.

Dentistry — Ensure maximum safety and cleanliness and mandate that dental cleanings be performed only on anesthetized pets.

Emergency and critical care — Govern how patients and clients are handled and treated during emergencies and hospitalizations.

Human resources — Ensure the back end of the business runs as smoothly and efficiently as the front end of pet care services.

Laboratory — Focus on sample collection and handling to maximize the chances of an accurate diagnosis.

Medical records — Outline what to include in each patient’s medical records.

Pain management — Outline how to assign pets a pain score and which drugs and drug combinations are best used in specific situations.

Patient care — Covers a broad range of standards, including medical protocols and patient handling.

Pharmacy — Ensure medications are stored and organized correctly and maintain proper records.

Surgery — Focus heavily on safety and sterility.

Hospitals seeking their initial AAHA accreditation make significant changes and prepare for months to years for their first evaluation. If a veterinary hospital receives AAHA accreditation, it must continue to adapt to the profession’s evolving standards and pass re-evaluations every few years.

What is Feline Hyperthyroidism?

Feline hyperthyroidism is the most common endocrine disorder in middle-aged and older cats. It occurs in about 10% of cats over 10 years of age. Hyperthyroidism is a disease caused by an overactive thyroid gland that secretes excess thyroid hormone. Cats typically have two thyroid glands, one gland on each side of the neck. One or both glands may be affected. The excess thyroid hormone causes an overactive metabolism that stresses the heart, digestive tract, and many other organ systems.

Treats & Rewards for your Kitty
It can be hard not to treat your feline friend with lots of food and treats. However, food is only one of the ways that you can spoil them. You can reward your cat with catnip, play, or just plain-old loving attention. Puzzle feeders can also be a great way to slow down eating and provide activity and stimulation.
