Pain is not an option at RBAH...

Keeping your pet out of pain is a priority for our staff.

The issue of pain management is of great concern to both pet owners and veterinarians today. As in human medicine, the knowledge of mechanisms and consequences of pain has been elevated to their proper level of importance.

We have a variety of medications available to manage your pet's pain both before, during, and after surgery.  All animals having surgical procedures performed will be administered pain medications here at the hospital and discharged with pain medications to continue at home.

Chronic pain (from arthritis and other degenerative conditions) may be a more difficult type of pain to control. Our veterinarians stay current on the most recent advances in pain management to help pick a program that will benefit your pet's pain.

Should you have any questions or concerns about our philosophy at RBAH regarding pain management, the doctors and staff are available to discuss these with you.
