At HHVC, we believe every pet deserves a comfortable, pain-free life. Pain in animals—whether acute or chronic—is often underrecognized, as many pets instinctively hide their discomfort. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the subtle signs.
Changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels can all indicate that something isn’t right. You might also notice your pet becoming unusually withdrawn or restless. Some animals may excessively lick or groom specific areas, while others may vocalize their discomfort through sounds like whining, groaning, or, in cats, even increased purring—these vocal expressions of discomfort can be easy to overlook but are important cues.
If you notice any of these signs, our veterinary team is here to help. Early detection and proper pain management can make a world of difference in your pet’s quality of life.
