Recognizing Pain in Animals
It can be difficult to determine if animals are in pain, one of the reasons that laser therapy is underused in this species.
The following could be signs that your animals is in pain - arthritic or otherwise:
- Lack of grooming
- Hiding or isolation
- Sleeping a lot or in only one position
- Lack of interest in food and water
- Growling or hissing when touched
- Abnormal body positions
- Restlessness
- Change in food preferences, sleeping spots or litter box habits
- General irritability
- Reluctance to jump to favorite spots
- Reduced social interactions with owners or other animals
Possible Conditions Laser Therapy Can Treat
In general, laser therapy treatment is safe, painless and brief.
The laser light is delivered to the affected area through a non-invasive hand piece.
The fur does not need to be clipped. Eye protection is worn by the laser operator and anyone near the laser probe.
The eyes of the animal are directed away from the treatment area or covered,
as the laser could harm the retina of an eye if shined directly into it.
The clinician moves the hand piece steadily over the area of treatment to avoid singeing the fur,
particularly on dark-colored coats.
During treatment, pets feel a gentle warmth, and many will increasingly relax during,
and possibly even seem to enjoy the procedure.
Each pet is different, and results can vary widely. Owners might see a change in their pets within the first treatment or two.
However, for more severe conditions, a series of treatments might be necessary before results become apparent.
They can include better mobility for joint conditions, drying and healing of dermatological wounds,
quicker healing for wounds and incisions, and greater comfort in a pet.
