While behaviours and appearance provide much information about pain in animals, there are also further assessments available to vets to gain more detailed understanding of what the cat or dog is experiencing. Onsior — the first and only COXIB for both cats and dogs — has been studied in research and clinical trials and is proving to be an effective and highly tolerable choice for pain management.

Diagnosing pain

Diagnosing pain in animals can be quite simple — and it can be anything but. Some breeds of dog are exceptionally stoic when experiencing pain, so much so that you may question whether they are feeling it at all. Other dogs make it completely plain to their owners that they are in need of help. And cats in pain, as one animal pain expert explains, simply tend to become "more catlike."

Treating pain

Onsior offers an excellent choice for treating acute pain and inflammation associated with musculo-skeletal disorders or soft tissue surgery in cats, and pain and inflammation associated with chronic osteoarthritis or orthopaedic or soft tissue surgery in dogs. In conjunction with medication, several other pain management techniques can be helpful in returning quality of life to dogs and cats.
