Cat Pain Relief Therapy

 

If you decide that pain killers are not for your cat, you may wish to try out some of our cat pain relief therapy ideas. Many people do not want to subject their cat to pain killers because of the dangers involved. Many pain killers are highly toxic to cats including mild ones. If you do wish to use pain killers, talk to your vet for possible safe varieties. Never try to medicate your cat by yourself with human, baby or dog medicine. Cats are very special creatures and their liver is extremely fragile.

 

 

We thoroughly recommend that before undertaking any kind of pain treatment for your cat you speak to your vet first. Your veterinary clinic will be able to provide useful information, advice, guidance and the best treatments for your cat. They will also be able to determine the most suitable method of treatment for your cat’s condition.

 

Copper Collars

These collars work in the same way that copper bracelets do for us. Magnetic fields from the copper collar influences our own magnetic field and has been known to reduce pain significantly. It is suspected to increase the flow of oxygen in our bloodstream as well as stimulate the production of endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers. This not only reduces pain but also helps speed up the healing process.

 

Magnetic Pet Pads

A similar type of idea to Copper Collars, magnetic pet pads can be used to treat your pet’s pain. Getting a magnetic pet pad and using it to line your cat’s bed or sleeping area proves to be effective as a method of cat pain relief therapy.  The pads look like everyday white fluffy rugs and can be used in conjunction with any other treatment your cat is receiving. It’s a safe well practiced method these days and it’s not invasive to your pet. They are recorded to speed up the healing process as well as reduce pain including long term pain such as arthritis. 

 

Change of Diet

I know it sounds like an easy task, feeding your cat isn’t particularly complicated but perhaps your cat could benefit from a different food? Your local veterinary clinic will have some food products available that are specifically designed to optimize your cats healing process through balanced and well thought out food stuffs that contain all the nutrients your cat will need. Some are optimized for different situations so ask your vet if they recommend a certain food for your cat.

 

Cat Massage

There can be a variety of instruction guides and videos on the internet to help you learn how to massage your cat correctly. If you are unsure about whether or not massage will be beneficial for your cat’s pain, talk to your vet who will also be able to help you with advice and guides on how to massage your cat correctly. This kind of cat pain relief therapy is beneficial to cats who are suffering from long term pains such as those from arthritis.
