Many pets do not express their discomfort in an obvious way, making it difficult to detect at home. At <strong>Benivet Benissa<\/strong>We often see cases of animals that have been suffering in silence for a long time. Early identification of signs of pain significantly improves their quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Silent signs of pain you shouldn't ignore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pain does not always manifest itself in crying or moaning. Some subtle signs to watch for include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Behavioural changes (apathy, irritability, withdrawal)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty moving, climbing stairs or standing upright<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of appetite or changes in sleeping habits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excessive licking of a specific area of the body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shallower or more shallow breathing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These signals may be related to <strong>joint problems<\/strong>, <strong>dental pain<\/strong>, <strong>internal diseases<\/strong> or even <strong>chronic ailments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f If you detect any of these symptoms, we recommend that you have a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/benivetbenissa.com\/en\/services\/veterinary-practice\/\">veterinary practice<\/a><\/strong> for a full assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do we value pain in Benivet Benissa?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We have an expert team and a specific protocol in our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/benivetbenissa.com\/en\/services\/pain-unit\/\">Pain Unit<\/a><\/strong>. We use clinical scales validated according to species and type of pain, and complement the diagnosis with diagnostic tools. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/benivetbenissa.com\/en\/services\/diagnostic-imaging\/\">image diagnosis<\/a><\/strong> (X-rays, ultrasound scans, CT scans) and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/benivetbenissa.com\/en\/services\/blood-tests\/\">clinical analyses<\/a><\/strong> if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, we assessed whether there are factors related to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/benivetbenissa.com\/en\/services\/veterinary-nutrition\/\">veterinary nutrition<\/a><\/strong>such as being overweight, which can aggravate certain types of pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/\"><strong>official AVMA guideline on pain management in pets<\/strong><\/a>In addition, behavioural changes are key to detecting hidden pain, even in the absence of visible physical signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is it important to act on pain?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Untreated pain can become chronic, affect the immune system and alter behaviour. It can also mask more complex diseases. Treating it early not only relieves your pet's discomfort, but can prevent further complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In cases of osteoarthritis, neurological pathologies or post-operative recovery, we combine medication, physiotherapy, dietary adjustments and environmental control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Veterinary care in Benissa and surroundings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Benivet Benissa<\/strong>we serve families from <strong>Teulada, Moraira, Calpe, Jal\u00f3n and villages in the Marina Alta area<\/strong>. If you think your dog or cat may be suffering in silence, don't wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ask for a complete check-up and improve your quality of life.<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/benivetbenissa.com\/en\/contact\/\"><strong>Request an appointment here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detectar el dolor en perros y gatos puede ser dif\u00edcil.
