Pet Injuries & Conditions We Treat
Arkansas Animal Rehabilitation & Fitness in Cabot, Arkansas
Pets are extremely good at hiding pain and often the only sign they exhibit is a change in behavior. These can include:
- Limping or gait abnormalities
- Relunctance to go on walks, play, go upstairs and/or jump on the bed/sofa
- Change in quality of movement (example missing weaves in agility)
- Decrease in appetite
- Change in sleeping habits – sleeping more or restless when sleeping
- Changes in posture
- Pet doesn’t want to be touched in specific areas (back, neck, etc.)
