Safe Cat Pain Relief and Quality of Life Consultations

We examine your cat's mental as well as physical health to make sure that they can continue to get the most out of their life. If your cat companion has received a terminal diagnosis or in cases when you believe that old age is causing your cat discomfort, we can start to work with you to provide the care they need in the comfort of their own home.

Your Cat Pain Relief Consultation

First things first. We will send one of our Caring Vets to your home to examine your cat to see how they are. Do not worry - shy or overly aggressive cats do not present any problem for us.

After your cat has been assessed it is time to talk about the future. We can talk to you about how to improve their quality of life, about pet painkillers and other pet pain relief options if they are suffering. We can then create a plan to ensure they can still enjoy life as much as possible right up until the end.

What Will At-Home Pain Relief Mean For You?

Transporting your cat to your local veterinary practice usually means a whole lot of stress for them - which they certainly do not need when they are already in pain. This is just one of the advantages and reasons why we provide in-house quality of life consultation. The others include:

• Easy access to pet medication to alleviate their discomfort
• Guidance as to the warning signs to look for as their illness, age or condition progresses
• Assessment of all of your cat's needs - dietary, physical, mental...
• Getting the advice you need to adjust to your cat's new needs in your very own home

What Kind of Cat Painkillers Do We Prescribe in the UK?

We prescribe a wide range of cat pain relief options depending on your cat's age, condition and a variety of other factors. These can include medication such as Metacam, Vetergesic, Amoxicillin, and many others.

Your consultation will also take care of:

• Wound treatment
• Any infections
• Stimulating their dietary intake or mental functions
• Managing pain

Plus, our Caring Mobile Vets will then be available to discuss your pet's developing condition with you as and when you need them - our phone line is open between 7am and 8pm, 7 days a week.

Problems specific to cats

Cats present unique challenges when it comes to ensuring their quality of life because:

• Cats routinely disguise when they are in pain, it is a survival strategy
• There are a limited number of cat painkillers available in the UK which are safe and effective
• The signs that a cat is in pain can be very subtle

Being able to consult a caring person with experience in the field will make it much easier determine whether changes in their behaviour - their diet, attitude, willingness to interact, and so on - are normal or a result of pain or illness.
