Pain Management

Pet Pain Management

Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people do. Pet-pain is reflected in your pet’s behavior, responsiveness, and mobility. Pain can cause your pet to lose excessive weight, have higher blood pressure from the stress of dealing with pain, lower the immune system, and decrease your pet’s activity. Pets with unmanaged pain and injuries often unknowingly make their pain worse by repeatedly agitating the area in pain.

Signs of pain include:

restless movement
constant licking
whining or other vocalizations
changes in sleep cycles and food or water consumption
protective behavior of a limb or other area of the body
a glazed or empty stare
unusually aggressive behavior
consistently strange postures or resting positions.

At West Flamingo Animal Hospital, we know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the essence of good patient care. That’s why we require pain management strategies for all our patients that are undergoing a procedure. With most procedures, our patients are given pain medication prior to the procedure as well as after.

Mirko

Mirko
I have been a client for 16 years. I have tried other vets in the Las Vegas area after having moved to Henderson and didn’t want to torture my cat with the long drive but have always been disappointed. When I first got Mirko he ate something he shouldn’t have and it got lodged in his intestines. He went days without eating and all the water he drank just pooled in his stomach. If it wasn’t for WFAH I don’t think he would have survived. They have an x-ray tech on site, an xray specialist on site, a surgical specialist on site etc etc. If it wasn’t for the fact that I could get xrays same day and examined by a specialist I don’t think he would have made it. Having a surgical specialist on site was also tremendously helpful. They operated next day and removed the blockage. My little guy was up and acting like his maniacal self the next day! I am positive that if I had taken him anywhere else, they wouldn’t have been able to figure it out because the item he ate did not show up on the first xray. The xray specialist figured it out because of all the water pooled in his stomach. I can’t thank them enough!

There is no vet I would trust other than Dr. Yach and his team of associates. Dr. Yach represents what every vet shoud and there is no doubt that he absolutely LOVES animals and would do anything to help them. He has been my vet since 2005 when I had my beloved Rottie Macabre. He also treated my English Bulldogs Roxy and Harley like they were his own. He now takes special care of Fenway and Boston, our snow white English bulldogs. You will always feel like your pets are Dr. Yach’s only patients when you are having a visit. He is diligent in his care and has such a loving character that your pets will always feel. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for all you do for our babies!!!!
