🚫💊 WAIT BEFORE YOU MEDICATE! 🐾
Before you reach for the medicine cabinet, remember: Many over-the-counter (OTC) human pain medications are extremely dangerous - even fatal - for dogs and cats. Never give your pet human medications unless your veterinarian has specifically instructed you to do so.
⚠️ Common OTC medications that are toxic to pets include:
• Ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®) – Can cause stomach ulcers, vomiting, kidney failure, and even death.
• Naproxen (Aleve®) – Highly toxic and can lead to severe gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney damage, and neurological signs.
• Acetaminophen (Tylenol®) – Especially dangerous for cats, causing liver failure and damage to red blood cells. Dogs can also suffer severe liver injury.
• Aspirin – Can cause stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, and toxicity.
🐶🐱 Signs of medication toxicity may include:
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy or weakness
• Black or bloody stool
• Difficulty breathing
• Tremors or seizures
• Pale or brown-colored gums
🚨 If you believe your pet has ingested a human medication, don't wait for symptoms to appear. Contact the Pet Poison Helpline (855-764-7661) or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) immediately. Prompt treatment can make all the difference.

🐾💙 Beyond Medication: Supporting Pets with Pain & Arthritis 💙🐾Pain management isn’t just about medications. For many pets, a multimodal approach - using a combination of therapies, lifestyle changes, and supportive care - can provide the best results and help improve comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
🐶🐱 Additional options that may help support pets with pain or arthritis include:
🦴 Joint Supplements
• Supplements containing ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin, omega-3 fatty acids, and other joint-supporting nutrients may help support joint health and mobility.
✨ Laser Therapy
• Therapeutic laser treatments use light energy to help support tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and promote comfort in pets experiencing pain or recovering from injury.
🪡 Acupuncture
• Acupuncture may help support pain relief, improve mobility, and promote overall wellness by stimulating specific points throughout the body.
🏃 Physical Rehabilitation & Exercise Therapy
• Controlled exercise, stretching, strengthening activities, and rehabilitation plans can help maintain muscle strength, improve mobility, and support joint function.
⚖️ Weight Management
• Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on joints and can make a significant difference for pets with arthritis or mobility challenges.
🏡 Environmental Support
• Adding ramps, non-slip flooring, supportive bedding, and other home modifications can help pets move more comfortably and safely.
❤️ Every pet is unique, and the best pain management plan often combines multiple approaches tailored to your pet’s needs, lifestyle, and health history.Helping pets stay comfortable means helping them continue to enjoy the activities they love most. 🐾

🌟 Team Member Appreciation: Heaven!

🌟Heaven has been part of the Denton Animal Hospital family since 2017, and we are so grateful for all she brings to our team! She began with us as part of our kennel team, ensuring our boarding and daycare pets were well cared for, and in 2019 she transitioned into our veterinary assistant department — continuing to grow her skills and support our medical team in countless ways. We appreciate her compassion for our patients and the comic relief she brings to our days. Heaven keeps us laughing while keeping our patients cared for.

🐾💙Thank you, Heaven, for everything you do!

🐾💙 Home Modifications for Pets with Pain & Arthritis 💙🐾
When pets experience arthritis or chronic pain, small changes around the home can make a big difference in their comfort, mobility, and confidence.
🐶🐱 Simple ways to create a more comfortable space for your pet:
🛏️ Provide supportive bedding
• Use orthopedic or memory foam beds to cushion sore joints
• Place beds in warm, quiet areas that are easy to access
🧼 Improve traction around the home
• Add rugs, runners, or non-slip mats on slippery floors
• Help pets avoid slipping and reduce strain on painful joints
🪜 Make daily activities easier
• Use ramps or pet steps to help with furniture, vehicles, or stairs
• Consider raising food and water bowls if bending is uncomfortable
• Keep frequently used items in easy-to-reach areas
🌡️ Keep your pet comfortable
• Provide warm resting areas, especially during colder months
• Avoid placing beds in drafts or areas that are difficult to access
✂️ Help with grooming and hygiene
• Keep nails trimmed to improve traction and stability
• Use rugs or mats near food, water, and litter boxes
• For cats, consider low-entry litter boxes if getting in and out has become difficult
❤️ Watch for changes in mobility. Difficulty getting up, avoiding stairs, reluctance to jump, or changes in daily habits may be signs that your pet needs extra support.
Pain management isn’t just about medication - creating a pet-friendly environment can help your dog or cat stay comfortable and maintain a better quality of life.

🐾💙 How Do Veterinarians Measure Pain in Pets? 💙🐾
Dogs and cats can’t tell us when they’re hurting, so veterinarians use validated pain assessment tools to help identify discomfort and determine the best treatment plan.
🐶 Colorado State University Canine Acute Pain Scale
One of the tools commonly used in veterinary medicine is the Colorado State University (CSU) Canine Acute Pain Scale.
This scale helps evaluate a dog’s comfort level by looking at:
• Attitude and interaction with people
• Body posture and comfort while resting
• Willingness to move and walk
• Response to touch around a painful area
• Vocalization and overall behaviorDogs are then assigned a pain score, which helps the veterinary team decide whether additional pain management is needed and monitor how well treatment is working.
🐱 The Feline Grimace Scale
Cats are especially good at hiding pain, which is why veterinarians may use the Feline Grimace Scale. This tool evaluates subtle changes in a cat’s facial expression, including:
👂 Ear position
👁️ Eye narrowing
😺 Muzzle tension
🐱 Whisker position
⬇️ Head position
Even small changes in these facial features can indicate that a cat is experiencing pain.
❤️ Pain assessment is an important part of every veterinary visit. By combining these evidence-based tools with a physical exam and the changes you notice at home, we can better recognize discomfort and help keep your pet comfortable.

🌟 Team Member Appreciation: Kathryn! 🌟

Kathryn has been part of our Denton Animal Hospital family for 2 years, and it’s hard to believe she ever started without veterinary assistant experience — because today, she feels like someone who has been doing this for a decade.

She is deeply compassionate, has a heart of gold, and cares for every patient as if they were her own and every client as if they were family. 💙🐾

There truly are no words to capture the amount of heart Kathryn brings to our team, but we are so grateful for the kindness, dedication, and warmth she shares every single day.

Thank you so much, Kathryn, for all that you do. We are incredibly lucky to have you! ✨
