ANIMAL PAIN AWARENESS MONTH | CATS | PAIN OR BEHAVIOUR? 🐈‍⬛🐾

As part of Animal Pain Awareness Month, DWR is proud to be collaborating with the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists (NAVP) to raise awareness of the often-subtle signs of pain in our pets.

🐈 Cats are particularly good at hiding pain, so changes in behaviour can be an important clue that something isn’t right.

Look out for changes such as:
• Reluctance to jump, run or play
• Becoming withdrawn or irritable
• Avoiding handling
• Changes in grooming, appetite or toileting
• Difficulty resting comfortably
• Changes in activity levels

💡 What may look like a behavioural change could actually be a sign of pain.

Our DWR Pain Clinic and Physiotherapy team are here to help with assessment, pain management and rehabilitation, supporting your pet’s comfort, mobility and quality of life.

If you notice a change in your cat’s behaviour, speak to your vet for an assessment. 🐾

📣SEPTEMBER IS ANIMAL PAIN AWARENESS MONTH 🐾

September marks Animal Pain Awareness Month, an important opportunity to raise awareness of pain in our pets and help owners recognise the often-subtle signs that an animal may be uncomfortable.

🐈‍⬛🐕 Animals can’t tell us when they’re in pain, and they don’t always show it in obvious ways. Changes in behaviour, mobility, posture, appetite or activity levels can all be signs that something isn’t quite right.

💡 Knowing the signs and seeking veterinary advice early can make a real difference.

At DWR, we take a multi-disciplinary approach to managing pain. Our amazing Pain Clinic, led by Barbara Cuniberti, and our brilliant Physiotherapy team work alongside our veterinary clinicians to develop individualised treatment plans designed to improve comfort, mobility and quality of life.

Physiotherapy can play an important role in pain management and rehabilitation, helping patients regain strength and mobility, maintain function and optimise quality of life.

From chronic pain and arthritis to recovery following orthopaedic surgery or injury, our teams can help support your pet throughout their treatment journey. ❤️

🐶🐱 This September, take a moment to learn the signs your pet may be in pain. If you notice a change in their behaviour, speak to your vet - pain is not something your pet simply has to live with.

🐾 National Food Bank Day 🐾

At DWR, we’re proud to support local families - including their much-loved four-legged family members. ❤️

Our pet food donations help make sure cats and dogs don’t go without when times are tough. 🐶🐱 A huge thank you to everyone who continues to donate. Here are Amy and Kerry delivering another month’s worth of generous donations to Newmarket Open Door.

Your kindness makes a real difference to local families and their pets. 💙

And now, as we start looking ahead to Christmas, we’re going to begin collecting for our Christmas boxes again! We’ll be sharing more details soon, but if you’d like to get involved and help, we’d love your support. ❤️🐾

Together, we can make a difference.

We’re delighted to announce that Angelo and Rita have taken on the additional role of Intern Directors at DWR, supporting and guiding the next generation of veterinary specialists. 🐾🎓

👨‍⚕️ Angelo – Intern Director & Veterinary Oncology Specialist

Angelo completed two specialist internships in Oncology at the Animal Health Trust and Dick White Referrals in the UK. He then undertook a residency programme in Veterinary Oncology at DWR and, in 2023, became a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine - Oncology.

In the same year, Angelo was recognised as an EBVS® European Veterinary Specialist in Oncology and became a member of the examination board of the European College of Oncology.

👩‍⚕️Rita – Intern Director & Diagnostic Imaging Specialist

Rita completed two general internships in the UK. She then worked in general practice for two years before joining DWR in January 2017 to begin her internship in Diagnostic Imaging. In 2023, Rita achieved the ECVDI Diploma, further demonstrating her expertise and commitment to veterinary diagnostic imaging.

We’d also like to extend a huge thank you to Lorraine, our previous Intern Director, for all her hard work, dedication and support in the role. Lorraine has done a brilliant job supporting our interns and helping shape their development, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything she has contributed. 💙🐾

Angelo and Rita bring a wealth of experience, expertise and enthusiasm to their new roles, and we’re excited to see them supporting our interns and helping shape the future of veterinary medicine.

Congratulations, Angelo and Rita! 👏🎉 We’re incredibly proud to have you both taking on this important role alongside your clinical work. 💙🐾

🐾 Surgery & Physiotherapy: Working Together for the Best Recovery 🐾

Orthopaedic surgery is only one part of the journey - rehabilitation plays a vital role too.

At DWR, all Orthopaedic Surgery Fixed-Price Packages include a physiotherapy session the day after surgery as part of your pet’s treatment plan, helping to support the best possible outcome from the very start of recovery.

Following procedures such as cruciate ligament surgery, fracture repair, or arthroscopy, physiotherapy can help to:
✔️ Improve comfort and mobility
✔️ Restore muscle strength
✔️ Maintain joint movement
✔️ Reduce stiffness and swelling
✔️ Encourage safe limb use
✔️ Support a smoother return to normal activity

🐶 Here’s handsome Ralph during his physiotherapy session with our brilliant Leah, Head of Physiotherapy! 💙

At DWR, we’re proud to have a dedicated team of 5 physiotherapists, who work closely alongside our Orthopaedic Surgeons throughout your pet’s recovery, providing seamless care from surgery through to rehabilitation.

Because successful Orthopaedic outcomes don't end in theatre - recovery continues at home, during rehab sessions, and with every step your pet takes afterwards. ❤️

Together, we're committed to helping your pet get back to doing what they love most. 🐾
