Pain Management

Epidural for MyelographAt South Paws Veterinary Surgical Specialists, we believe pain management is as important as the procedures we perform. We use multimodal pain management techniques to ensure your pet is comfortable while in the hospital and while at home. Often times we use two or three pain management strategies listed below to ensure your pet's comfort. While in the hospital, your pet's pain medications are monitored around the clock by our 24-hour ICU technicians.

  • Epidurals
  • Local anesthetic blocks
  • Fentanyl Pain patches
  • CRI-Morphine Lidocaine drips
  • Injectable opiods (hydromorphone, morphine)
  • Oral pain medications to go home
