Pocatello, ID - BAMC Offers Advanced Pain Therapy For Pets
To provide the highest quality medical care for dogs and cats with an emphasis on patient comfort and owner involvement.
Online, October 4, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Bannock Animal Medical Center (BAMC) is an animal medical center that has been devoted to improving the lives of pets since 2003. Founder, Walter Roundtree, DVM, believes that a higher quality of life for pets, increases the time owners get to spend with them. This is achieved by focusing on both weakness and pain. The team at BAMC coordinates several different disciplines for their advanced pain therapy program. Three of those disciplines are: pain management, physical therapy and advanced anesthetic.
Pet Pain Management
In order for pet pain management to be effective, the program needs to combine more than one concept. It's impossible to completely control your pet's pain using one single method or medication for every situation. Many veterinarians put all their faith in NSAID medications. But, according to BAMC, every situation is different. At times, the medications aren't adequate for a particular condition. Other times, the doses are high enough for the pet's pain level. In some cases, the patient may need extended doses of intravenous agents designed to block pain. They may even need pain relievers injected directly into the spine. If the pain levels are really high, a combination of both may be required. The treatments should be tailored to meet the individual needs of each pet. That means that responses to the treatments must be watched and documented. It's been reported that most pets respond well to these treatments. BAMC works hard to not only find the treatment that's best for your pet's pain, but one that you can manage well and that your pet will accept readily.
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy has always been critical to managing human injury and pain. This same concept works with pets who have been injured or are suffering from pain causing conditions, such as arthritis. When various methods are incorporated, it can be very helpful for pets with chronic pain. By combing physical therapy with pain medications, the recovery rates in improved, while maximizing your pets function. BAMC believes that it's not enough to just make the patient okay. They aim to help you pet resume the daily activities, improving their quality of life. Digital X-rays and color Doppler ultrasounds are used to better diagnose the problems. Then, various physical therapy methods are used to speed up the healing process. The BAMC team works with each pet owner to help them develop an effective program to continue their therapy through home exercise.
Advanced Anesthetic
BAMC uses advanced anesthetics as an extension to the pain management programs for pets. They incorporate sophisticated techniques into the entire program to safely manage your pet's pain. Whether your pet has heart disease, kidney disease, arthritis, or is just aging, it's important that every program is safe for the individual pet. This will ensure that they don't suffer new injuries, improving the likelihood that the outcome will be a successful one. Each patient is monitored throughout the process. Team members make sure that pulse rates and blood pressures are always at healthy levels during the process. An experienced, qualified expert monitors the anesthesia, lowering the risks that come with being under anesthesia.
