Pain Management for Pets in DeLand, FL

Helping Pets Live with Comfort and Mobility

Pain is one of the most common yet overlooked challenges pets face—especially as they age, recover from surgery, or cope with chronic conditions. Whether you’re a pet parent concerned about your animal’s comfort or a referring veterinarian seeking effective outpatient solutions, Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand is here to help with safe, advanced pain management strategies including laser therapy.

Dogs and cats naturally mask pain, a behavior inherited through evolution to avoid appearing vulnerable. This makes it difficult to detect discomfort until it’s significantly impacting their quality of life. Our experienced veterinary team is committed to identifying subtle signs and offering gentle, effective relief that works in conjunction with your pet’s overall treatment plan.

Why Pets Hide Pain—and What to Watch For

Many pets won’t show visible signs of pain until it’s severe. Understanding what to look for can make a big difference in identifying and addressing issues early.

Why Pets Hide Pain—and What to Watch For

Common signs include:

Limping or difficulty standing

Avoiding stairs or jumping

Increased sleeping or reluctance to play

Unusual aggression or withdrawal

Excessive licking of a specific area

Decreased appetite or restlessness

These symptoms may indicate underlying orthopedic conditions, neurologic issues, or post-surgical pain. Whether pain is acute or chronic, timely intervention improves your pet’s well-being and can prevent further health complications.

Advanced Pain Relief with Laser Therapy

At Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand, we offer K-Laser® therapy, a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and support tissue healing. This high-power laser targets affected areas using precise wavelengths of light, encouraging the body to heal itself more efficiently.

Laser therapy has long been used in human medicine and is now a trusted option in veterinary care. It does not require sedation, involves no discomfort, and is well tolerated by pets. Most experience a warm, soothing sensation during the session—some even doze off.

Conditions Commonly Treated with K-Laser Therapy:

Osteoarthritis

Hip dysplasia

Post-operative pain

Muscle and ligament strains

Neck and back discomfort

Chronic wounds

Inflammation and edema

Neurologic injury recovery

Burns and tissue trauma

How Treatment Works

Laser therapy is cumulative—while some improvement may be seen after the first session, most pets benefit most from 3 to 8 sessions, spaced appropriately based on their diagnosis. Our veterinary team develops an individualized plan based on your pet’s response, age, and medical history.

Referring veterinarians receive regular updates on progress to ensure collaborative continuity of care.
